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.
You can learn about Phases 1 and 2 in Part 1! Find it here.
Goals & Objectives:
At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Apply Phases Three through Six within two to three sessions following the initial session, in many cases.
- 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.
- Describe coherently the ins and outs of Phases Three through Six of EMDR reprocessing, to effectively feel confident and coherent with Trauma Reprocessing.
