Dissociation is a normal human process. We all dissociate. Some individuals are so severely and chronically traumatized that, in order to survive, they split their awareness into at least two levels or streams of consciousness—one level being the participant in the abuse drama and the other level being an observer watching as if the abuse was happening to someone else. This defense mechanism, which allows severely abused individuals to survive, can become an obstacle in the reprocessing of their traumatic memories.
This program, designed as a beginning level course for EMDR practitioners who have completed EMDR Basic Training, discusses the role of dissociation in everyday life as well as the pathological use of dissociation due to traumatic events.
It covers:
The nature and sequalae of trauma
