The Many Faces of EMDR Therapy: An Integrative Approach
People don’t often think of EMDR as psychotherapy. But these two paths to healing can coexist. So how do we reconcile EMDR therapy as a breakthrough treatment for PTSD and an attachment-based psychotherapy approach? Whether your client is struggling with a major single PTSD event or ongoing issues with self-esteem and relationships difficulties, the root cause is the same—memory, which informs our present-day experience. Through videotaped illustrations of actual clients, you’ll learn about the different ways EMDR can be applied to treat disturbing life experiences that have a lasting impact, and how the psychotherapy of EMDR can transform life-long difficulties with self and others, resulting in a more authentic sense of sense of self. You’ll discover:
How to identify past–present connections relating to the client’s current difficulties
How to treat a PTSD episode that has roots in developmental trauma
How EMDR psychotherapy evolves over time beyond the remission of symptoms
The relational component of memory work as part of the journey toward healing

Relational EMDR as a Transformational Journey: The Power of Attunement
While EMDR is best known for the treatment of PTSD, it’s evolved into a comprehensive, attachment-based approach that addresses a broad range of clinical conditions. In this recording, you’ll learn how to enhance the power of EMDR by heightening the therapist’s use of self and creating an attuned experience that enables clients to process painful experiences that have been previously avoided or denied. We’ll explore how to assess a client’s readiness for the emotional challenges of bringing the past into present-day awareness and the trust in the therapist required to embark on this difficult journey. You’ll discover:
The Adaptive Information Processing model of EMDR therapy that informs how present difficulties are informed by past experiences
Relational strategies to navigate the moment-to-moment demands in and out of memory processing
How to identify a therapeutic impasse and explore what’s needed to move the process forward
How to negotiate the rules of engagement with clients, making it possible to navigate the uncertain territory of trauma processing

EMDR in Trying Times: How Our Brains Process and Move Through Trauma
During these times of uncertainty, peoples’ anxieties and fears about their health, their families’ well-being and their finances are not without cause. Yet, how we react to these circumstances depends on what we have experienced before, making it easier or harder to adapt to our current situations. EMDR therapy is exquisitely equipped to address these demands by offering a range of clinical options from addressing acute stress symptoms and recent events to a more comprehensive psychotherapy approach. In addition to offering an overview of this approach, we will discuss a couple of clinical vignettes to illustrate how EMDR therapy can offer brief and effective treatment to help our clients restore their resiliency and capacity to respond optimally to these ongoing demands.
