From Eye to “I”: Transforming Attachment and Identity with EMDR Therapy

March 6, 2020 @ 9:00 am - March 7, 2020 @ 5:00 pm EST

In Day One, participants will explore attachment and identity formation, and the relationship between family dynamics and ego structure. Reenactments from the family of origin, and their materialization as ego state conflict in individual and conjoint therapy will be described. This paves the way to understand dissociative personality structure and its relational manifestations.

In Day Two, participants will learn a model for EMDR-based assessment and treatment planning using a model original to the author: The Domains of Self Experience (D.O.S.E.). This model allows the clinician to rapidly identify salient negative cognitions and predict the trajectory of the therapy. Next, participants will learn a progression of techniques to control and focus desensitization within the optimal zone of arousal.

Finally, participants will learn and practice a new and powerful technique for attachment repair: The I-Gaze Interweave. This interactive workshop will include practicum, videotape, and didactic material designed to facilitate a deeper understanding of this exciting new integrative Model.

Participants who complete this workshop will be able to:

  • Explain the structural components of relationship essential to attunement and forming a secure therapeutic attachment.
  • Describe the power of the “attachment cry” as an organizing dynamic in relationship.
  • Describe three different models of dissociative personality structure.
  • Identify signs and symptoms of dissociative personality structure in their clients.
  • Utilize state-of-the-art techniques for working with ego states in EMDR Therapy.
  • Apply a typology of “self-experience” and be able to rapidly identify salient negative cognitions for EMDR targeting.
  • Describe the zone of optimal processing for efficient and safe reprocessing.
  • Describe four varieties of suboptimal processing and identify strategies for intervention.
  • Utilize somatic interweaves for maintaining their clients within the zone of optimal processing.
  • Explain the indications and contraindications for utilizing the I-Gaze Interweave.
  • Utilize the I-Gaze Interweave for attachment repair during phase four of the 8 phase EMDR protocol.
