SC16 – Being Brief with EMDR

Location: Sand Pebble A-C

EMDR is known to be an effective and efficient treatment intervention. One, however, that often is limited to long-term clients because of most commonly known treatment planning approach coupled with EMDR’s unrestricted application of bilateral stimulation, i.e., eye movements, tapping, etc.. EMDR may, however, be structured to work within a brief treatment environment. This is accomplished by organizing a treatment plan around the client’s core beliefs and applying variable speed processing, i.e. EMDR, EMDr, EMD. This workshop will introduce participants to a belief focused approach to treatment planning and the techniques used in EMD, EMDr, and EMDR

Educational Objectives:

1. Demonstrate a belief focused approach to treatment planning
2. Discuss the different techniques used by the three processing modalities, EMDR, EMDr, and EMDR
