Techniques/strategies to stabilize people in a crisis response (including first responders) will be discussed and demonstrated.

We will make the reprocessing of recent or unconsolidated trauma come alive through discussion in depth of actual cases.

In this highly practical, skill-building video workshop (Day Two), Tracy Ryan Kidd, LCSW will provide an overview of how to use EMDR within each of the three stages of trauma work.

Stage 1 stabilization methods will be emphasized with several practical methods taught. Knowing when to move into Stage 2 reprocessing and how to handle problems that arise will also be covered. Experiential learning techniques and video of actual sessions in all 3 stages will be presented.
