Approved for 1.5 EMDRIA Credits

This engaging workshop will focus on the benefits of specific art interventions matching each of the 8 phases of Eye Movement, Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) through case examples and time for several art experientials. The presenters are art therapists and EMDR clinicians who provide integrative and phased approaches to trauma treatment in their clinical practices. While foundational knowledge of EMDR is recommended, participants do not have to have therapeutic art experience; the taught creative directives are appropriate for the non-art therapist’s use in clinical practice. Ethical use of art and art materials in therapy will be reviewed. Several art therapy cases with dissociative/DID clients, utilizing artwork in EMDR, will be presented. Art therapy offers myriad opportunities for multicultural inclusion and accessibility with art’s inherent ability to transcend language barriers. Consideration of cultural differences will be made throughout.

Presenters: Elizabeth Davis, LCAT & Peggy Kolodny, LCPAT
