Applying EMDR to adults and children with chronic trauma can be challenging. In this online course, Dr. Arianne Struik will provide an overview of all you need to know to get started. We will discuss the case conceptualization, which targets to pick (and not pick), how to prioritize targets, and how to determine realistic goals with clients who still live in chronic traumatizing circumstances. Potential barriers for clients to engage in EMDR will be discussed and why clients get stuck during processing. Dr. Struik will discuss what clients need to overcome those barriers. Lastly, Dr. Struik will explain troubleshooting when clients dissociate, have pseudoseizures, and have strong emotional reactions based on the latest research in the EMDR field.
