This advanced retreat-style workshop will teach the Art of EMDR therapy, with a special focus on complex trauma and attachment. The "Art" of EMDR is expressed in numerous ways: the dance of atunement during sets of dual attention stimuli; knowing when to interweave vs. "staying out of the way"; reading the signs of reprocessing; utilization of the therapeutic relationship for containment,working with phobia of affect/traumatic material; and knowing what to do when the processing isn't moving along as expected. This workshop will teach Preparation Phase strategies to prepare for the complexities of treating trauma, and then will help participants expand and integrate their knowledge and skills in applying the "art" of EMDR therapy in the Standard Protocol through live demonstrations and advanced practica. The workshop is limited to 20 clinicians who have completed an approved EMDR Therapy Basic Training.
Advanced Learning Topics Include:
A framework to understand the application of EMDR therapy to complex trauma within a phase-oriented approach
