Program Description:

This course equips participants with innovative tools to address attachment wounds in clients, blending theories from Psychodrama and Role-theory with EMDR techniques, particularly the use of metaphors in reprocessing treatment. It delves into foundational concepts such as imprinting, influenced by the studies of Konrad Lorenz, and attachment theories from Bowlby, enriching the practitioner's approach to emotional healing.

You will explore the Identity Matrix within Psychodrama, focusing on child development phases, and learn how EMDR can be effectively used to reprocess traumas impacting attachment. The course also covers the strategic implementation and therapeutic use of metaphors, enhancing the reprocessing of deep-seated emotional issues.

Goals & Objectives:

At the conclusion of this program, participants will be able to:

  1. Explain the impact of Lorenz’ theory of imprinting with animals and how this can affect human being as well.
  2. Describe Bowlby’s attachment theory.
  3. Identify the five stages of child development theory developed by J. L. Moreno (Psychodrama and Role theory).
  4. Use metaphors in the EMDR practice of treating attachment.

Program Description:

EMDR Therapists often emerge from Basic Trainings and sadly never execute on the technique immediately with patients. Then after a period of time clinicians lose their understanding of the technique and mismanage its application. Patients then say EMDR didn’t help them, but when drilled down we find out that the EMDR therapist wasn’t proficient with standard protocols thereby failing the patient. This course is designed to give a full comprehensive and proficient understanding of how to apply the 8-phase protocol to most Patient issues. In this 2nd Part of the training, we will cover Phases Three through Six of the EMDR Standard Protocol in extensive detail. The remaining Phases Seven and Eight will be covered in subsequent trainings. This program does not supplement any Basic Trainings; It’s intended as a bridging of the gap between training and effective application.

 

Goals & Objectives:

At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be able to:

  1. Apply Phases Three through Six within two to three sessions following the initial session, in many cases.
  2. Demonstrate proper selection and execution of Phase Three on Reprocessing Memory Targets discovered in Phase One, to best serve the patient, and keep EMDR reprocessing on track.
  3. Describe coherently the ins and outs of Phases Three through Six of EMDR reprocessing, to effectively feel confident and coherent with Trauma Reprocessing.

Program Description:

The Flash Technique was developed by Phil Manfield in 2017 as part of the Preparation Phase (Phase 2) of EMDR with the intention of quickly reducing the client’s emotional response to traumatic memory so EMDR can proceed. It was an extreme form of paired titration used in EMDR, developed by Krystyna Kinowski in 2003. While in Kinowski’s paired titration the client would focus on a resource and then briefly recall the disturbing memory, in the original version of Flash Technique, the client would focus on a resource and recall the disturbing memory so briefly that the client would not see or feel the disturbing memory. Currently, clients doing the Flash Technique will only need to identify the disturbing memory without dwelling on it and just to focus on something that is pleasant and engaging. The client would do bilateral stimulation such as eye movement or alternating tapping, and blink when prompted by the therapist, all without any attempt to recall the memory.

The Flash Technique is a simple protocol and a user-friendly protocol in that can be learned in a few hours. It is also easy to use in clinical practice. Even master-level social work and counseling students can use it effectively to help their clients to process their disturbing memories. It is also user-friendly for clients in that they do not have to dwell on the details of the trauma during processing. FT is being used not only in the counseling rooms worldwide, but also in populations distressed by trauma such as refugees and the homeless.

This course on the Flash Technique (FT) draws from the speaker’s own practice and research on FT, working with homeless substance abusers and teaching master-level social work students to do trauma work with FT online. It will also cover the theory of FT, developed by the speaker, using well-accepted working memory research and fMRI data from neuroscience. This course will provide the new FT therapist with a proven script for immediate use in the counseling room. It will also provide the more experienced FT therapist with the theoretical foundation for the practice of the Flash Technique.

In this course, we start with an overview of trauma and a review of the theory and practice of FT as part of the Preparation Phase (Phase 2) of EMDR. We then discuss the use of positive engaging focus (PEF) in the Flash technique as well as obstacles preventing the successful use of FT, such as feeder memories and blocking beliefs, and we address ways to get around those obstacles. We will also discuss the use of FT for highly traumatized individuals, using calming and experiential PEFs. In addition, we will touch on special situations such as the use of FT for processing of guilt and shame issues and the use of FT to support victims of natural disasters. There will also be an in-depth discussion of the theory for FT. The didactics will be illustrated with live and recorded demonstrations of volunteers processing their disturbing memories with FT. There will be two practicums, and we will have ample time for discussion and Q & A.

Goals & Objectives:

At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be able to:

  1. Explain the basic procedure of FT.
  2. Name at least three examples of a positive engaging focus, typically used in FT
  3. Name the two threat detection systems in the brain.
  4. Identify two possible changes in the traumatized brain.
  5. Explain the difference between high-intensity and low-intensity trauma intervention
  6. Explain the difference in approach for using FT for individual and group therapy.
