EMDR SPECIALTY WORKSHOPS ONLINE

Advanced Educational Productions has produced a new seminar that has been approved by EMDRIA.

This Home Study Course: Healing the Heart of Complex Trauma and Dissociation with EMDR and Ego State Therapy was recorded during a live workshop presentation, providing you with the next best thing to being there! The course includes lecture, live demonstration and question and answer sessions. Each course includes a manual.

EMDRIA trained clinicians who have completed the EMDRIA Basic training may take this course.

This workshop will present a Cross Training model: the cutting edge integration of EMDR , trauma informed phase oriented therapy, and ego state therapy in the treatment of highly traumatized clients. A major focus will be the exploration and negotiation of the extensive preparation phase that is often required to safely build up stabilization, affect and dissociative symptom management skills, and the therapeutic relationship, prior to the actual trauma processing and desensitization phase of EMDR treatment.

Participants will be taught how to weave these methods into EMDR treatment to help complex trauma clients develop appropriate internal and external boundaries and acquire skills to promote affect regulation. Having established these prerequisites, participants then will learn how to use this cross training model for successful EMDR reprocessing.
