The EMDR-GRIEF protocol adapts the 8-phase EMDR protocol to address the complexities of mourning and grief, emphasizing the reconstruction of the assumptive world. Rooted in the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model, this protocol emphasizes how positive memories serve as the bridge to grief integration. By addressing the pain of grief and other blocks to accessing adaptive information, EMDR-GRIEF helps remap the internal representation of the loss of space, time, and attachment, fostering a renewed sense of connection and orientation.
