Workshop Content
 
Day 1 | Thursday, 20th April 2023
 
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. Dr Parnell 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. A video with a client demonstrating Bridging from a long-standing negative belief will be shown that also demonstrates how to repair a client’s birth trauma.

Day 2 | Friday 21st April 2023
 
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 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

You will also watch a video of a man with a history of childhood sexual abuse and neglect through which Dr Parnell demonstrates many of the concepts you have just learned.

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. These include creating new parents, new creative family constellations and other reparative resources.

Dr Parnell will then demonstrate AF-EMDR developmental repair through a video case study with a transgender client.
