An Introduction to the Integration of Structural Dissociation, Ego State Therapy and EMDR Therapy

12 CE hours from EMDRIA approved; 13 NBCC approved masters level professional CEUs (including LCSW, LMHC, LMFT, LPC, and more) approved.

Hotel Andaluz, 125 Second Street, NW, Albuquerque, NM 87102
Saturday and Sunday, November 16-17, 2019, 9am to 5pm both days
Registration from 8am-9am Sat; 8:30am-9am Sun. Registration limited to 45.

OVERVIEW: This two-day workshop will provide participants who have completed EMDR basic training with an introduction to Structural Dissociation and Ego State Therapy theory and when it is useful or necessary to use these two frameworks with clients being treated within an EMDR/Adaptive Information Processing Approach. From an AIP perspective, ego states are distinct neuronal networks in the brain. Each has a more or less distinct sense of self. Participants will leave the workshop with experience using the Dissociative Table and ten specific tools to facilitate work with clients’ aspects of selves. Each day will feature a lecture format in the morning. Both afternoons will begin with a live demonstration of the Dissociative Table Technique with a volunteer. Then participants will have the supervised practicum opportunity to work in triads learning to use the Dissociative Table Technique (often called the Conference Room or Meeting Place) for themselves, as well as case consultation on child, adolescent and adult clients with complex PTSD and dissociative diagnoses other than DID. (Dissociative Identity Disorder will be addressed in the additional Monday workshop.) These complex clients can be treated successfully using modifications of the EMDR Protocol but without deviation in Phases 3-6. Participants will be strongly encouraged to complete recommended readings, sent by email, before the workshop. We expect these readings -- and a wealth of other articles and assessments -- will be available by May 7. All registrants will receive the password to access these handouts on my website, www.abbott-lobenstine.com, when they are available.

Overview

The EMDR Therapy Basic Training (Weekend 1 and 2) is designed for licensed mental health practitioners who treat adults and children in a clinical setting. EMDR is a comprehensive psychotherapy that accelerates the treatment of a wide range of pathologies and self-esteem issues related to disturbing events and present life conditions. This interactional, standardized approach has been empirically tested in over 20 randomized controlled studies with trauma patients, and hundreds of published case reports evaluating a considerable range of presenting complaints, including depression, anxiety, phobias, excessive grief, somatic conditions and addictions. EMDR therapy is guided by the Adaptive Information Processing model which addresses the unprocessed memories that appear to set the basis for a wide range of dysfunction. A number of neurophysiological studies have documented the rapid post treatment EMDR effects.

Authorized Format

EMDR therapy is a specialized approach that requires supervised training for full therapeutic effectiveness and client safety. The training consists of lecture, live and videotaped demonstrations and supervised practice. The format of this workshop has been designed by the originator of EMDR therapy, Francine Shapiro, PhD. The workshop leader, Peggy Moore, LISW, was individually selected and trained by Dr. Shapiro to provide the comprehensive information necessary for appropriate client selection and effective utilization of EMDR therapy. This is the workshop program which has been taught by Dr. Shapiro since 1990.

Integrating EMDR Therapy with Other Approaches

As an integrative psychotherapy approach, EMDR is compatible with all contemporary paradigms including, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, experiential and systemic.

Goal of the EMDR Therapy Basic Training

This experiential training will familiarize participants with a broad spectrum of EMDR therapy applications sufficient for comfortable and efficient use with a wide range patients and situations. Special attention will be given to the therapeutic needs of clients. Read more…

Workshop Leader

Peggy Moore is an EMDR Institute trainer with 25 years of experience with EMDR  and 12 years teaching experience worldwide.  This training meets the EMDRIA training requirements.

EMDR Training

This training will guide therapists through pairing appropriate relationship-based modalities with EMDR to facilitate trauma processing in sessions involving multiple individuals.  We will review session videos to help increase understanding of implementation.  Training will review protocols of 8 phases and how to intertwine relationship of caregiver and child into the phases adhering with EMDR protocol.
