DESCRIPTION:
This course will teach clinicians interventions for every step of the way in treatment from the first session to the last. For example, they will learn current information and research on trauma and neurobiology so they have a base for their practice and information to share with clients, they will learn how to conduct a trauma-sensitive session take a trauma-informed list of client experiences, presentation of case formulation and treatment planning during the first phase- Client History and Treatment Planning,
Participants will move on to learn several relaxation and resource tools for the phase 2 Preparation phase such as breath work, imagining a calm safe place to relax the body and mind, and mindfulness tools that help clients maintain here-and-now awareness and grounding. Participants.
We will then learn the EMDR protocol phases 3 Assessment (asking questions about a memory to start focusing on it), 4 Desensitization and Reprocessing (working on a memory until the disturbance around it is a 0, 5 Installation (strengthening a positive self-belief about the memory), 6 Body Scan (check all through the body for any remaining tension or disturbance), 7 Closure (create a container in your mind to put any unfinished work into and do other relaxing activities) and 8 Re-evaluation (what to do to follow-up in the next session after EMDR).
Participants will learn EMDRs mechanisms of effect (hypothesis for how it works) for their own foundation and to explain to their clients. For example, EMDR mimics Rapid Eye Movement-REM sleep, utilizes working memory (area of the brain that holds what’s on your mind right now) to help address and digest information). They will learn the EMDR modality (steps in the procedure) and model (Adaptive Information Processing (AIP)which explains how the brain digests and utilizes experiences.
They will learn EMDR specific tasks such as how to help a client get unstuck in their work (cognitive interweaves), how to do a floatback (checking for and working on other past experiences that are effecting the current experience being worked on), how to work with a cluster of experiences (things that happen multiple times such as verbal abuse throughout childhood) and how to do a future template to prepare clients for future situations (dating, family gatherings, job interviews, etc.). They will learn EMDR protocol variations for special populations such as children, addictions, and dissociation.
They will also receive case consultation on their cases via their client videos, filling out and presenting case consultation forms and general discussion. The course will offer all this and more via lecture, practicum, group discussion, client videos, handouts and practice with their clients. Participants who successfully complete the course will be eligible to go on to become certified in EMDR (go to emdria.org for certification requirements).
