Attachment-Focused EMDR – Preparing Clients for Deep Trauma Reprocessing

woman is holding her a smaller version of herselfwoman is holding her a smaller version of herselfEMDR can be a powerful tool for helping clients work through traumatic experiences. But not all clients are ready for it – at least not right away (and perhaps especially if they’ve experienced early attachment trauma).

That’s why Laurel Parnell, PhD, developed an attachment-focused approach to EMDR. Her goal was to strengthen the client’s internal resources so that they could feel supported enough to engage in the deep work of trauma processing.

And once she began applying this approach, Laurel started to see better outcomes more quickly in her clients with attachment wounds.

So how can you tell whether you might need to employ this attachment-focused approach with your client?

That’s what we’ll get into in this workshop:

Applying Attachment-Focused EMDR In Your Clinical Work

In this workshop, Laurel Parnell, PhD will walk you through the techniques she’s developed to enhance the therapeutic process and deepen support for clients as they process trauma.

She’ll also expand on how we can connect clients with key resources that can help them heal long-held attachment wounds.

Here’s just some of what Laurel will get into:

  • Why you might want to become skilled in Attachment-Focused EMDR (even if you’re already trained in traditional EMDR)
  • Interventions that empower clients using the five basic principles of AF-EMDR
  • How to help clients create an internal attachment system by tapping into four foundational resources
  • How to use bilateral stimulation and harness a client’s imagination to address attachment deficits
  • One key component of repairing developmental wounds (and how to help clients access it)

This workshop is designed to give you what EMDR clinicians are most interested in – what Attachment-Focused EMDR really looks like in clinical practice.

  • The transcript makes it easy to go back and double check concepts, citations and names that are mentioned
  • We put in a table of contents to make it easy for you to find the exact part of the webinar you need
  • Having the concepts already written allows you to take notes on how you’re going to use the ideas rather than transcribing the ideas
  • Some people simply learn better by reading than by listening or watching
  • You will be able to print out and share techniques presented in the session with your patients
