NOW OPEN!
May 16-18 Webinar: EMDR, Polyvagal, & Ego State Therapy

This weekend webinar will give participants who have already completed the EMDR basic training the critical skills needed for working with clients who have Complex Trauma and/or Dissociative Disorders. Participants will learn about and practice developing their own Meeting Place/Conference Room, the most widely used technique for working with ego states and parts of self to resolve internal conflicts. We have added two evening hours on Friday for a more spacious approach to this work. On Saturday and Sunday, there will be a morning didactic segment followed by a break for lunch, after which there will be a demonstration of the Meeting Place with a participant volunteer. Supervised practicums in triads will be conducted both afternoons. The afternoon ends with some time for consultation. These complex clients can be treated successfully using modifications of the EMDR Protocol but without deviation in Phases 3-6.

‘Parts Work & Artwork’ is a three-hour webinar that will help therapists bring the power of artwork to help clients engage with their self states and dissociative self states. This workshop will help you help your clients get unstuck from strongly held emotional states, making therapy more effective. Externalizing a part makes the deeper work of EMDR possible by lowering defenses and honoring the caution that goes along with a plan to access traumatic material.

Presented over Zoom February 14 from 12-3 Eastern, this webinar is fun, lively, and interactive. 3 EMDRIA CEs, 3 NBCC CE hours
