CE Information: EMDR and Performance: Up your clinical game with advanced skills for athletes and creatives

COURSE ABSTRACT:

Several studies show that using EMDR with performers can decrease anxiety, shift negative views and desensitize memories of upsetting events, resulting in improved performance (Foster, S. & Lendl, J., 1996; Bennett, J., Bickley, J., Vernon, T., et al., 2017). This course is the extended and in-depth version of an advanced EMDR training course that focuses on helping athletes and other performers improve their peak performance, return from set-backs or injuries, and clear-up blocks or yips that interfere with optimal performance. This training brings together top EMDR clinicians from around the country to share how they work with this population from case conceptualization, to specific interventions depending on the unique situations that performers present. Participants will build on their skills in utilizing the basic EMDR protocol and early EMDR intervention protocols, with other modalities, in the office and in the performers competitive arena. Demonstrations will be shown of how EMDR is integrated with HeartMath Tools, Guided Imagery and Self-regulating skills. The afternoon practicum will allow participants to practice how to introduce these modalities and in what situations they can be used. Topics include working with young athletes, using an ‘intensive model’, addressing underlying diagnosis, interactions with Coaches and parents, defining performance success and failure and how to manage both, utilizing assessment tools and how to create a business of performance counseling.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

At the conclusion of this program, participants will be better able to:

  1. Demonstrate the skills of history taking.
  2. Demonstrate how to integrate Heart rate variability training with EMDR Therapy.
  3. Identify the key factors in case conceptualization and treatment planning with specific performance issues.
  4. Demonstrate their own way of explaining the causes of performance blocks, failures and successes through the lens of the AIP Model while introducing EMDR therapy.
  5. Explain at least two modalities for working with performers.
