One of the biggest challenges of facing new EMDR clinicians is how to conceptualize and begin work with more complex trauma, often involving issues of attachment, shame, and avoidance. While models exist that attempt to conceptualize these cases, Jim Knipe’s The EMDR Toolbox provides in AIP -informed approach designed around the use of EMDR. This training is designed for the EMDR clinician who wants to become adept and confident in conceptualization of Complex Trauma.
Participants who successfully complete the training should then be able to:
Define the Tenets of the EMDT Toolbox Method (ETM), focusing on self-states, dysfunctionally stored content, and dissociation.
Recognize the spectrum of dissociation as both a coping response and a distinct structure of personality.
Identify and distinguish between the types of psychological defenses - avoidance, idealization, and shame
Create a treatment plan to identify and guard target sequencing and selection
