Course Description
Applying EMDR to adults and children with chronic trauma can be challenging. In this program, Arianne Struik will provide an overview of all you need to know to get started. We will discuss the case conceptualization, which targets to pick (and not pick), how to prioritize targets, and how to determine realistic goals with clients who still live in chronic traumatizing circumstances.
​
Potential barriers for clients to engage in EMDR will be discussed as well as why clients get stuck during processing. Arianne Struik will discuss what clients need to overcome those barriers. Lastly, Arianne Struik will explain troubleshooting when clients dissociate, have pseudoseizures, and have strong emotional reactions based on the latest research in the EMDR field.
