Workshop Description

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an eight-phase brain-based therapy that has been recognized by the World Health Organization as being one of the two most effective treatments in the healing of trauma. Developed in the mid-1980s by Francine Shapiro, this therapy was utilized primarily for the reprocessing of trauma and the healing of symptoms of PTSD. Now it is used successfully in reprocessing the roots of depression, anxiety, and a variety of symptoms related to Complex PTSD.

This presentation will focus on the use of mindfulness, attunement, and resonance within an EMDR transpersonal approach while staying true to the standard protocol, as science, spirituality, and therapy converge. An overview of the EMDR therapy protocol will be offered. This is not an EMDR Basic Training, but transpersonal tools can be applied to other psychotherapy modalities. Those already trained in EMDR will have additional tools to integrate into their protocol.

Participants will be able to identify elements of Complex PTSD and dissociation, use of internal focus for integration of dissociated parts, resource development, and emotional regulation, within the EMDR model. New meaning to trauma is realized as inner wisdom and higher consciousness emerge. Case examples and experiential exercises will be used to awaken therapists’ intuitive skills, integrating ancient healing practices with EMDR therapy for adaptive functioning, client awakening, and accelerated transformation within the delicate work of ego integration in Complex PTSD. 

 

Learning Objectives

After the completion of this webinar, participants will be able to:

  • Identify the applications of mindfulness, attunement, and resonance integrated within resource development and ego integration phase for treatment of Complex PTSD.
  • Apply two clinical applications based in the transpersonal psychology framework of mindfulness, attunement, and resonance as it applies to dissociation to work with their clients.
  • Describe the beneficial outcomes of the integration of mindfulness, attunement, and resonance in the treatment of Complex PTSD.
  • Determine appropriate intuitive ways of knowing to utilize within the therapy session to enhance client processing throughout all eight phases of the EMDR protocol.

This workshop is approved for 3.0 continuing education credit hours.
