This online course will help EMDR therapists apply multiple “conceptual maps” in assessing clinical needs and making moment-to-moment decisions with complex trauma clients. Although this course addresses relevant issues related to all 8 phases of EMDR therapy, it primarily focuses on the importance of comprehensive case conceptualization and treatment planning AND the therapist’s role in facilitating and deepening reprocessing. Significant time will be devoted to identifying common blocking beliefs and demonstrating different types of interweaves, each with its own function and goal. Finally, there will be an emphasis on moving beyond symptom reduction to developmental repair, post-traumatic growth, and increased resilience.
