Description
Early in my experience as an EMDR clinician, there seemed to be this common mantra. “Don’t use EMDR with dissociation” or “If they score ___ on this assessment do not move forward”. The problem is, these are the very clients that I was seeing in my therapy room, and these are the very clients that need EMDR! This led me into my unintentional specialization of using EMDR with dissociative disorders.
In this training, we learn how to recognize, assess for, treat, and above all else destigmatize the dissociative experience. Dissociation is not one thing, it is many things. It is this fantastic and often beautiful labyrinth of human experience that is in my bias, not something to fight, but something to team up with as we use EMDR.
Pre-requisites: This training requires participants to first take an EMDR basic training before taking this advanced training. Participants are required to be post basic training, however are not required to be certified in EMDR.
Learning Objectives
1. Explain how to assess for dissociation both using measures and through experience with the client
2. Describe the major theories of dissociation
3. Discuss how to speak to clients about parts work and not make it weird
4. Identify stabilization skills for clients experiencing dissociation
5. Discuss rational for updated processing procedures for use with clients experiencing dissociation
6. Demonstrate basic parts work interventions as phase 2 EMDR interventions
