EMDR Therapy Refresher Course: Because You Don't Know What It Is You Forgot
​
Many clinicians, after being trained in EMDR Therapy, fail to continue to utilize the 8 phase protocol and have difficulty conceptualizing and applying the AIP model with clinical issues. Know that you’re not alone. This interactive workshop will provide a review of EMDR Therapy, the 3 pronged approach, and the 8 phase protocol, with an emphasis in case conceptualization through the AIP lens. Attendees will participate in focused case conceptualization exercises and develop target sequencing plans with intricate clinical scenarios related to complex trauma and PTSD, grief, dissociation, addiction and co-occurring disorders. Day 2 will include a live interactive practicum experience. Feel more comfortable utilizing EMDR Therapy and gain confidence applying these concepts with your more difficult clinical presentations.
