Laurel Parnell, PhD

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful therapy for treating trauma-based problems. This revolutionary therapy has helped thousands of clients recover from such traumas as war, accidents, assaults, disasters and childhood abuse. In addition to the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder, EMDR is also used to treat the psychological effects of smaller traumas that manifest as symptoms of depression, anxiety, phobias, low self-esteem, creativity blocks and relationship difficulties. Not only does healing occur much more rapidly than in traditional therapy, but as a result of EMDR’s clearing of emotional and physical blockages, many people undergo spiritual transformation and have “beyond the ego” experiences using the technique.

Part 3: Transforming Trauma with EMDR: Advanced Clinical Workshop and Refresher Course

In this intensive workshop (for those who have completed EMDR Parts 1 & 2 trainings or an equivalent EMDRIA approved course), we will refresh our technique, review EMDR protocols and procedures, consult on our difficult cases, watch demonstrations and practice EMDR in small supervised groups. Instruction will focus on using EMDR in complex cases, resource development and installation, target development and cognitive interweaves. Special topics will include: working with adults abused as children; medical procedure trauma; grief and loss; recent traumas; and EMDR as a transpersonal psychotherapy.

The full course will involve reviewing standard EMDR protocol and procedures, and learning a modified protocol (and when to use it); a technique for target development; techniques for resource development and installation; and the advanced use of interweaves. We will also learn how to work with complex cases; use EMDR with critical incidents, grief and loss, medical procedures, traumas and somatic disorders; understand EMDR’s capacity to act as a transpersonal psychotherapy; and successfully integrate EMDR into a clinical practice.
