Have you done the EMDR training a while ago and it everything a bit rusty or are your clients very challenging? Using EMDR therapy with children and young people with complex trauma can be challenging. In this comprehensive two-day Masterclass Arianne Struik will go through EMDR treatment from referral to closure to integrate all different aspects of using EMDR with children and young people with complex trauma.
We will start conceptualising complex case presentations from an EMDR framework, identifying memory clusters, and selecting and planning targets. Participants practice with case vignettes or bring their own cases. We will then discuss how to decide when the child can start with reprocessing and which preparation is needed. Arianne will refresh participants knowledge about Flash, Flash Forward, Future Template, CIPOS, RDI and when to use these techniques
Then we will practice extensively using the EMDR child Protocol with children in all age categories or developmental levels: 0-4 years old, 4-6, years old, 6-9 years old, 9-12 years old, 12-18 years old, including using EMDR with preverbal trauma. Through video material and case examples, we will discuss and practice how to understand, prevent and manage abreactions and dissociation during EMDR. Arianne will present on the latest EMDR research and the working memory theory and how understanding this theory can help with managing difficulties in the reprocessing phase. She will show the use of EMDR 2.0 techniques with children and young people and young people. Then we will discuss which changes to expect and how to determine whether treatment is completed.
In this Masterclass we focus on practice with case vignettes and roleplays, with some theory to refresh and update your knowledge. Would you like to be more confident and skilled in using EMDR with children with complex trauma? Join my Masterclass to practise your skills in how to apply EMDR with children and young people in all age groups.
This Masterclass is for participants working in Australia and New Zealand with children and young people. Participants need to have completed a level 1 Adult training (weekend 1) and an EMDR child training.
For the use of EMDR within a phased treatment with complex traumatized and dissociative children it is recommended to do the home study workshop Treating Chronically Traumatized Children with the Sleeping Dogs method or the online workshop Treating Chronically Traumatized Children with the Sleeping Dogs method 6-7 Febr 2025. In this workshop you will learn how to prepare children for EMDR when they are unwilling or unable to engage in EMDR therapy.
