Why the ROI Math Matters

Many practitioners only look at the sticker price of a training weekend. However, the true cost of certification includes the mandated clinical consultation hours (often billed at $150+/hour) and the unbilled hours spent away from the clinic.

The "Hidden Costs" Breakdown

Consultation: EMDR requires 10 hours. Somatic Experiencing requires 18 hours of consultation plus personal sessions.
Travel & Lodging: Even post-pandemic, many intensive retreats require on-site participation.
Lost Billable Hours: 3 days of training equals roughly 15-20 lost clinical sessions.
