CE Information – Introduction to EMDR Therapy and Dissociative Disorders

Abstract

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

  • The impact of trauma at different developmental stages

  • The relationship between trauma and dissociative symptoms

  • Types of dissociation

  • The neurobiology of dissociation

This course also discusses dissociative process and symptoms from the Accelerated Informational Processing Model of EMDR.
It covers:

  • The implications and complications of clinical treatment with dissociative process and symptoms.

  • The nature of dissociative process and symptoms.

  • Screening for dissociation and the ‘Red Flags’ of treatment concerns.

  • The differential diagnoses of dissociative symptoms– from dissociative symptoms found in diagnostic. categories other than Dissociative Disorders (e.g., Mood Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, PTSD) to DDNOS (ego states work) and DID.

  • The use of EMDR in the treatment of dissociative symptoms in relation to trauma.

  • Therapist attributes that help contribute to the successful treatment of dissociative symptoms in patients.
