Working with Dissociation + Complex Trauma as an EMDR Therapist
IN-PERSON + VIRTUAL
Adult clients with a history of chronic or prolonged childhood abuse and/or neglect present significant challenges in treatment, particularly in utilizing the standard EMDR protocol. The training includes both practice and discussion.
Master Class for Complex Trauma
VIRTUAL
An online, 10-month master class of EMDR Therapists seeking to increase their skills and knowledge in working with complex trauma and dissociation in a mutually supportive and challenging environment. Facilitators Reg Morrow Robinson and Bill Brislin will integrate advanced AIP case conceptualization with attachment theory and the theory of structural dissociation.
Foundations in Complex Trauma and Dissociation
VIRTUAL
This 10-month, virtual course is designed for any therapist who wants to develop more expertise in working with highly traumatized clients. Complex cases often pose significant clinical challenges: specialized education and consultation can help you overcome common obstacles while developing competence in this arena. No EMDR training is required.
Resetting the Immune System: An EMDR Approach with a Focus on PANS/PANDAS
VIRTUAL
This innovative, 6 hour workshop brings together the fields of EMDR and Immunopsychiatry to propose a novel, Adaptive Information Processing-based approach to working with clients who suffer from autoimmune inflammatory conditions such as arthritis and PANS/PANDAS.
Group EMDR Therapy Training
VIRTUAL
In this three-hour presentation, Group EMDR expert Reg Morrow Robinson will first provide an overview of current EMDR Group protocols and derived techniques to acquaint participants with a variety of options and levels of intervention. Reg will explain how to include these options within AIP-informed case conceptualization and treatment planning by outlining where and how each protocol and technique fits into the eight phases and three prongs of EMDR Therapy.
Expanded Traumatic Episode Protocol Training
VIRTUAL
The Expanded Traumatic Episode/Event Protocol (E-TEP) is more relationally and somatically focused evolution of the traditional Recent Traumatic Episode Protocol (R-TEP). A powerful tool for resolving recent traumas, it also facilitates movement towards the transformation of core maladaptive themes and can be used with clients with dissociation and complex presentations. This is an advanced, 1-Day workshop with E-TEP creators Brurit Laub and Keren Mintz-Malchi.
