EMDR Institute Trainers
Sigmund Burzynski (He/Him)​
Senior EMDR Institute Trainer
Sigmund Burzynski began his EMDR journey over 30 years ago, in 1992, when he completed EMDR Part 1 training with Francine Shapiro (founder of EMDR Therapy). He completed Part 2 training with Francine Shapiro the following year and his passion for EMDR led him to train extensively as an EMDR facilitator with Australia’s first EMDR Institute trainer Mr Gary Fulcher. In 1998, he was chosen to undertake further training with Francine Shapiro, and became an EMDR Institute trainer.
Since that time Sigmund has been actively involved in trainings throughout Australia (including trainings in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Hobart), as well as New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan and Malaysia. He has been actively involved in the supervision and training of Psychologists, and has lectured on EMDR at the University of Indonesia and Tarumanagora University, Indonesia. Sigmund, and now long-time friend and associate, Roger Solomon, then held the first Structural Dissociation Master Class in Australia in 2000. After many years of providing supervision and training to a range of allied health professionals nationally and internationally, Sigmund is now semi-retired and continues to find great joy in providing boutique EMDR Institute trainings to small groups of therapists.
​
Sigmund worked in private psychological practice in Geelong between 1994 and 2023, where he worked as a Senior Psychologist at Associated Psychology Services. Prior to this Sigmund served as resident psychologist at a maximum security prison for six years. His experience in the prison system resulted in developing a significant emphasis in his training dealing with trauma, violence, anger, drug related issues and personality disorders. He was actively involved in developing a group program with emphasis on anger management named the ‘Alternatives to Violence Program’. The program was given a National Award. He has provided public lectures on Anger Management in Singapore and presented a case study on Trauma based anger at the inaugural EMDR Asia conference in Bali.
His current interests lie in the area of trauma management, depression, anxiety disorders, anger management, pain management and sexual dysfunction.
