About the webinar
Join Dr. Jennifer Sweeton to explore EMDR modifications for complex and developmental
trauma, critical for nuanced client care. Learn why complex trauma networks, often marked by
negative cognitions like “I am worthless,” require a tailored approach, starting with resourcing
(Phase 2) before Target Sequence Planning. Dr. Sweeton will introduce Somatic Targeting for
pre-verbal trauma, using sensations as targets instead of memories. Also, attendees will learn
how to “inch along” memory by memory, starting with EMD for titration and emphasizing
attunement. Take away strategies to adapt EMDR for complex trauma, ensuring safe, effective
treatment for clients with deep-rooted relational wounds—no rigid protocols needed!
What You’ll Learn:
- Identify Complex Trauma Presentations:
Recognise patterns of complex trauma, including attachment wounds and chronicabuse histories. - Adapt EMDR Protocols for Complexity:
Learn how to safely modify standard EMDR phases to accommodate complexpresentations and maintain client safety. - Target Somatic Memories:
Explore techniques to identify and process somatic components of trauma, enhancingresolution of body-held distress. - Balance Stabilisation and Processing:
Apply strategies to integrate stabilisation work while maintaining effective traumaprocessing for complex clients.
Agenda:
Lecture & Chat-Based Q&A (60 min) – Learn how to adapt EMDR for complex trauma, apply somatic targeting for pre-verbal wounds, and use titrated processing to ensure safety and effectiveness—practical strategies to balance stabilisation and trauma resolution for lasting client outcomes.
