Establish the role of the autonomic nervous system in trauma symptomology.
Articulate the clinical implications of the freeze response in trauma treatment.
Characterize the potential neurobiological mechanisms of change in the empirically validated EMDR approach.
Specify how EMDR techniques can build dual awareness in clients to treat the avoidance that makes trauma treatment challenging.
Communicate the 8 Phases of the EMDR protocol.
Determine which clients you should use EMDR with.
Analyze resourcing strategies from EMDR that clinicians can use to help facilitate the processing of trauma.
Characterize how EMDR techniques can be used to reinforce and activate positive neural networks.
Communicate how EMDR can be modified to work with complex/developmental trauma to directly treat traumatic memories.
Evaluate strategies that can help foster the critical connection between client and therapist in EDMR therapy.
Articulate the research limitations and potential risks associated with EMDR.
Establish the order of operations for attachment-based EMDR treatment to resolve relational trauma.
