Dealing with dissociation can be one of the most challenging and frustrating encounters for EMDR therapists; the cursory mention in the basic training is rarely sufficient for working with any meaningful presentation. This training is designed for the EMDR clinician who wants to become adept and confident in working with dissociation.

Additionally, this CE has been approved by EMDRIA for CE credit!

Participants who successfully complete the training should then be able to:

  • Define dissociation focusing both on a description and explanation of dissociation.
  • Recognize the varying presentations of dissociation and develop an integrated case conceptualization using the Ego State model.
  • Use resources during phase 2 to prepare the client for work with dissociation
  • Employ reprocessing strategies to work with dissociation as it emerges in phase 4
