Description
Clients want trauma treatments that heal them quickly.

And some clients want to target just one part of their trauma narrative – but not everything all at once.

Your challenge is to meet clients where they are and get them the results they want.

When you’re using highly-effective, evidenced-based treatment protocols like EMDR you need to know how to adapt the framework so you can address what your client is asking for.

Join Rebecca Kase, LCSW, to explore early EMDR interventions for recent trauma and modifications to EMDR that allow you to target specific symptoms – Whether it’s an event that happen last week or decades ago.

You’ll learn:

• 7 distress management techniques for specific EMDR treatment phases
• How to create treatment plans that target specific experiences, symptoms and event memories
• 3 different models for modifying EMDR so you can tailor therapy to each unique client
• Follow the lead of your client’s nervous system by intervening with “choice points”
• How memory functions after trauma and how you can impact your client’s processing

Plus, you’re getting handouts, video demonstrations, and experiential exercises you can use for your clients AND yourself.

Get your clients back to fully functioning in life – spending time with family, friends, meeting deadlines at work, school and finding meaning.
