Presentation Summary:

Applying Basic EMDR protocol to working with Complex PTSD and Dissociation can be challenging, intimidating, and ineffective. Advanced training and protocols are needed to adapt the AIP Model and 8 phases of EMDR in response to C-PTSD and Dissociation. These more complex diagnoses impact the brain’s memory network and processing abilities differently than recent or single incident trauma. Adapted protocols can improve client tolerance for EMDR and overall treatment outcomes.
