EMDR Integrative Attachment Trauma Protocol for Children

This is a 12- hour practical workshop that is rich with creative interventions, inspiring cases, and numerous videos that will allow you to leave the workshop prepared to:

• Involve parents in “detective work” to understand child behaviors from the AIP trauma model.
• Facilitate the development of self-awareness and self-regulation skills in children.
• Process preverbal trauma with EMDR through the therapeutic story.
• Help parents attune and respond with sensitivity to the emotions and traumatic memories underlying the child’s behaviors.
• Implement EMDR Attachment Resource Development (ARD) to enhance parent-child attachment prior to memory work.
• Apply EMDR Self Regulation Development and Installation (SRDI) to increase affect and behavioral regulation.
• Utilize EMDR empowerment interweaves and other creative interweaves for children with stuck brains.
• Use puppets, plays and stories to help children process the past with EMDR.
• Heal and find safety for the “inner child within the child.”
• Use EMDR with role plays to process current triggers and develop future templates.
• Learn to develop collaborative relationships with colleagues to create an effective family-EMDR treatment team.
