Day 1 | Thursday, 24th October 2024

The 5 Basic Principles of Attachment-Focused EMDR

Lays the groundwork for AF-EMDR and details what is needed from you, as an EMDR therapist, to repair your client’s attachment wounds.

Tapping in Resources

Dr Parnell outlines the steps to effectively install the 4 foundational resources a client must have to process their traumatic memories and then shows you how to use these steps and others important to healing early attachment trauma through an in-session video demonstration with a client.

Case Conceptualisation and Target Development

Dr Parnell provides information on how to take a history, conceptualise cases and develop targets for EMDR processing of early traumatic memories. You will learn how to use the Bridging Technique to find the best targets for EMDR processing when the client cannot identify past traumas linked to their current symptoms or problems through a video demonstration with a client.

Day 2 | Friday 25th October 2024

Helping Clients with Processing Difficulties and Using Interweaves

Processing difficulties can quickly derail an EMDR session if you aren’t prepared for them. Dr Parnell teaches you techniques illustrated by a video of a real-life case example to help your ”stuck” clients work through their processing difficulties by:

• Working with abreactions
• Helping clients who dissociate during EMDR
• Working with numbness, sleepiness and memory chaining
• Unblocking blocked processing using interweaves

Attachment-Focused EMDR: Repairing Developmental Deficits

Building on your new resource installation skills and understanding of the 4 foundational resources, Dr Parnell covers alternative resources that clients may develop including creating new parents, new creative family constellations and other reparative resources demonstrated through a video case study with a transgender client.
