Workshop Description
​
EMDR therapy can be highly efficient for many clients seeking relief from symptoms of unresolved trauma and adverse experiences; however, many of our clients often suffer from a more complex form of post-traumatic stress that can hinder the effectiveness of EMDR therapy. We must adapt EMDR standard protocol in specific ways to address the more complex presentations while still maintaining fidelity to the model. Symptoms of complex PTSD include dissociation, self-hatred, and extreme dysregulation, requiring adjustments to standard protocol. When integrated with EMDR therapy, ego state work (or parts work) can assist the client to process the trauma with more safety and comfort, while helping the therapist maintain fidelity to the EMDR psychotherapy approach.
Basic EMDR training usually does not provide enough guidance or education on working with these more complex presentations, so the new EMDR therapist often struggles to get EMDR to work with their more complex clients. The client themselves may feel like a failure and give up. It can be relatively easy to learn how to use both ego state work and EMDR therapy together, which improves the clients’ experiences and outcomes. This workshop will provide the information you need to begin learning this work, including video demonstrations and even some practice exercises to help you learn what steps to take to bring these two therapies together. The combination can open the door to facilitating more growth and recovery for your more complex clients.​
