Cape Cod Institute: EMDR Therapy and the Treatment of Complex PTSD in Adult Survivors of Childhood Abuse and Neglect
In this Cape Cod Institute week-long workshop for EMDR therapists, we will examine the impact of early neglect, abuse, and attachment disruption on the development, functioning, and identity of the individual. We will then introduce various clinical “maps” to guide assessment, case conceptualization, and treatment planning. We'll review the range of dissociative presentations associated with complex and prolonged trauma and will highlight the kinds of phobias and "parts" conflicts that require attention early in treatment.
We’ll explore the role of "resourcing" and the importance of the therapeutic relationship. We'll also review strategies for helping clients decrease dissociation and maladaptive defenses, allowing them to access and transform their core affects and beliefs. Significant time will be devoted to identifying common blocking beliefs and deepening skills related to the use of cognitive interweaves in EMDR therapy. Through watching numerous excerpts from videotapes of clinical sessions, participants will have the opportunity to see how the proposed treatment “maps” can be used to guide decision-making and how interweaves can be used with precision to facilitate processing and accelerate developmental repair.
