Mind/Body Strategic Interventions for Phase work in EMDR Therapy

Led by by Jill Strunk, EdD and Jan Schaad, LCSW

April 4 – 5, 2019

Throughout the EMDR Therapy process, from History taking to the Reprocessing Phases, the safety and stabilization of the client is imperative to bring adverse experiences to an adaptive resolution.  This workshop will teach EMDR Therapists protocols for allowing all clients to increase adaptive resources for life function and stabilization both during the EMDR therapy session and between sessions.  The building of adaptive memory networks, widening the window of tolerance, stabilizing the nervous system, affect tolerance, and dual attention will be addressed throughout Phases 1-8 of EMDR standard protocol.
