Many children in residential care are chronically traumatised and they could really benefit from EMDR therapy, however their behaviour is very difficult and they are often not stable. In this webinar Arianne and Nienke will discuss how EMDR therapy can be delivered to children and young people in residential care.
We will discuss how to prepare the children and young people, how to assess whether they are ready for EMDR, and how the residential staff can support the EMDR therapy. We will also discuss the desensitization phase (phase 4) where intense fear, strong abreactions such as intense fear, anger, dissociation, and physical reactions can complicate processing. Several techniques will be discussed to keep these children and young people in their window of tolerance and continue processing with for example strategies to tax the working memory, movement, boxing, smells and music. We will also discuss the advantages of doing daily intensive EMDR.
