Transforming Trauma With EMDR 

In this workshop for licensed professionals, participants have the opportunity to refresh their technique and review EMDR protocols and procedures, consult on their difficult cases, watch demonstrations, and practice EMDR in small supervised groups. Instruction focuses on using EMDR with complex cases, resource development and installation, target development, and cognitive interweaves.

Through lecture, hands-on practice, and demonstrations, we learn:

• Cite protocols and procedures for using EMDR with a wide range of diagnostic categories
• Identify client selection criteria and cautions necessary for safe use of EMDR
• Practice techniques for working with blocked processing and abreactions (catharsis)
• Employ imaginal and cognitive interweaves
• Use EMDR with adults traumatized as children

  CE and CME are available and included in the tuition. Required reading: Parnell, A Therapist’s Guide to EMDR and Tapping In. $15 materials fee for manual; include when you register. This EMDR course is for those who have completed Parnell’s 7-day EMDR Professional Training and have received 10 hours of consultation with one of her recommended faculty, or have completed Level II or equivalent EMDR training.
