Introduction to Attachment-Focused EMDR
Copyright :
Sometimes EMDR alone isn’t enough to heal entrenched traumas, particularly when clients struggle with early attachment issues. Attachment-Focused Eye Movement and Desensitization Reprocessing (AF-EMDR) combines multiple approaches to support attachment-wounded clients through their trauma healing process. In this introductory workshop, you’ll learn about resourcing and developmental repair, including how to modify the EMDR protocol can be so that it flows more easily. You’ll be introduced to new ways of combining powerful protocols—EMDR, Resource Tapping, and talk therapy—with principles of attachment theory to provide a more client-centered, reparative treatment that support client safety, maintain the therapeutic connection, and enhance attunement. You’ll explore:
- The benefits and basic principals of AF-EMDR and Resource Tapping for specific client issues
- How to manage emotions and reduce stress by tapping in the 4 foundational resources of peaceful places, nurturing figures, protector figures, and wise figures
- How to address developmental deficits by harnessing clients’ imagination along with bilateral stimulation
