What you’ll learn in Attachment-Focused EMDR Course

Session 1: The 5 Basic Principles of Attachment-Focused EMDR

Session 1 lays the groundwork for Attachment-Focused EMDR and details what is needed from you, the EMDR therapist, to repair your client’s attachment wounds.

Session 2: Tapping in Resources

In this session, Dr. Parnell outlines the steps to effectively install the 4 most important resources a client must have to process their traumatic memories. You’ll watch Dr. Parnell uses these steps in an in-session video demonstration with a client.

Session 3: Utilizing Love Resources and Other Attachment Repair Resources

Building on your new resource installation skills and understanding of the four most important attachment repair resources, session 3 covers alternative resources that clients may develop, including creating new parents, utilizing love resources and the right way to use the therapist as a resource.

Session 4: Preparing Clients for EMDR

With resources installed, you and your client are ready to begin EMDR treatment. In this session, you’ll explore the three phases of Attachment-Focused EMDR treatment: assessment and preparation; processing and integration; and creativity, spirituality and integration. You’ll also get valuable techniques to help prepare your clients for treatment.

Session 5: The Modified Protocol

How does an EMDR therapist manage challenging clinical situations? This session gets into strategies and steps to modify the standard EMDR protocol. Through demonstration videos and discussion, you’ll learn the 5 benefits of the modified EMDR protocol and explore how and why you should adapt the standard EMDR protocol for clients with attachment wounds.

Session 6: Successful Target Development

In this session, you’ll master techniques to get through the most challenging parts of EMDR therapy. You’ll get 4 ways to integrate an Attachment-Focus into the desensitization, installation, closure and re-evaluation phases of EMDR, plus you’ll gain valuable strategies to successfully use the bridging technique.

Session 7: Helping Clients with Processing Difficulties and Using Interweaves

Processing difficulties can quickly derail an EMDR session if you aren’t prepared for them. In this session, Dr. Parnell teaches you techniques to help your ‘stuck’ client work through their processing difficulties by:

• Working with abreactions
• Helping clients who dissociate during EMDR
• Working with numbness, sleepiness and memory changing

Through in-session video demonstrations and discussion, Dr. Parnell will teach interweave strategies and show you the right way to close an EMDR session so your clients can fully process their memories and leave the session at peace.
