EMDR Treatment of Simple, Complex, and Dissociative Panic

This presentation provides clinicians with research and clinically informed treatment plans for alleviating symptoms of panic across of range of cases. This includes those with only a panic disorder diagnosis, those with developmental trauma and co-occurring anxiety or personality disorders, and those with a dissociative disorder and dissociative phobias. Emphasis is placed on developing a case conceptualization founded on the Adaptive Information Processing model and integrating Attachment Theory and the Theory of Structural Dissociation. Clinical examples and guidelines are presented for identifying targets, when to extend preparation phase work, and when to address core attachment material or hidden dissociative phobias.
