Overview
Prerequisite
EMDR 2.0 training
Day 1: EMDR 2.0 Masterclass
For those who have already completed an EMDR 2.0 workshop, boost your knowledge and skills with the most recent research, techniques and demonstrations, including delivery via telehealth platform.
Learning objectives:
- Types of conditions for which EMDR 2.0 can be used
- Advantages of using EMDR 2.0 techniques and applications
- Components of the working memory taxation theory
- How EMDR 2.0 can be used with individuals with complex trauma histories
- How EMDR 2.0 techniques can be used when dissociation prevents access to traumatic memories
- How EMDR 2.0 techniques can be used when dissociation prevents access to traumatic memories or when the presence of comorbid pathology seems to block reprocessing.
- Methods for using EMDR 2.0 via online therapy, including demonstration using cutting-edge, Dutch platform Moovd
Day 2: Efficient Methods for EMDR Therapy: Case Conceptualisation and Strategic Target Selection
Too often, EMDR clinicians fail to think strategically and consistently about target selection, rely heavily on clients to know what to target, or are unaware of targeting options. Yet, there are a variety of proven targeting strategies that create efficient “routes” for adaptive memory reprocessing and bring optimal relief of clinical symptoms.
Learning objectives:
- A nuanced understanding as to which “route” of target selection is most efficient for each client, including:
- The “timeline route” for most mental health symptoms, such as sleeping problems, or feeling depresse
- The “intrusion route” for trauma-related conditions, such as PTSD
- The “floatback route”, for difficult emotions or bodily symptoms
- The "belief route” for cases where irrational and negative core cognitions are central
- The “emotion route” for when strong emotions such as guilt and anger are in the foreground
- The “flashforward route” for anticipatory fear and anxiety disorders
Cancellation policy
Tickets cancelled more than one week prior to the scheduled event start time will be refunded 90% of the ticket cost. The residual 10% will be retained for administrative costs. Cancellations within one week of the event forfeit the full cost because the venue expenses are paid one week before the event.
