"Therapy Snapshots"
These one-hour virtual trainings/discussions are designed for people who want to learn something new with minimal time and money commitment. I will cover topics that I have found to be the most helpful interventions over my 30-year career. $25 fee. EMDRIA Credits pending.
- EMDR Treatment Planning Made Simple September 30th, 9 am; October 18th, 12 pm (Mountain Time)
EMDR treatment planning for phases 3 and 4 can feel like standing in a thick forest wondering which tree to pick. This class will simplify this process and help you organize your targets.
- Internal Healing Dialogue October 7th; 9 am; November 15th, 12 pm (Mountain Time)
Jim Knipe’s Internal Healing Dialogue is a technique I use almost weekly to help people resolve inner conflicts between parts or struggles with making a decisions. You can learn how to use it in this one-hour talk.
- Building Internal Scaffolding with Ideal Parent November 4th, 9 am; Dec 6th, 12 pm (Mountain Time)
External resources are all well and good, but people with attachment issues need internal resourcing, what I am calling “Internal scaffolding.”
- Karpman’s Triangle as a Lens for Countertransference coming in 2025
What I have learned is this: when I am stuck with a client, there is an 80% or higher chance it has nothing to do with lack of knowledge or skill. It has to do with my PARTS! Curious?
- Creative Resourcing - currently on demand; 2025 dates pending
EMDR Resourcing Development in Phase 2 can go way beyond safe calm/state and creating allies. Learn how to create a “resourcing sandwich,” use in-the-moment resourcing opportunities, and start where your client is. EMDR training required.
The classes are $25 per class when taken live. EMDRIA credits are under review. All 5 trainings for $100 (because the dates are not announced for all of them, you will have an option of watching the two remaining on demand).
Weaving in Cognitive Interweaves
This workshop is an on demand virtual training. Both as a practitioner and a consultant, I have seen that cognitive interweaves are one of the most confusing parts of practicing EMDR Therapy. Now that interweaves make sense to me, I am sharing my knowledge so that EMDR therapists can effectively and efficiently use interweaves to improve their practice.
Assessing & Treating Dissociation - TBA
A workshop designed for therapists who are lacking a basic understanding of how to assess and work with clients who have dissociative disorders.
- Learn skills to assess for dissociation in clients taking into account the ACES study and a broader conceptualization of trauma (Phase 1)
- Explain two theories of parts work that can inform our EMDR therapy process and how they fit with the AIP model
- Identify at least 5 Phase 2 skills that best help with dissociative clients.
- Verbalize steps to orient parts to time and place as a Phase 2 stabilization technique
- Practice an IFS-informed/countertransference exercise to better understand how we can use parts work to better stay in Self.
Orienting Parts to Time and Place - TBA
Traumatized parts live in “trauma time.” When they are triggered, they do not realize that they are in the present being reminded of the past. They react as if the danger is imminent and respond in kind. This dynamic keeps our clients in a flight/fight/freeze loop.
This is a live virtual two hour workshop where participants will be able ti use an effective techniques to help their clients orient parts to time and place. 75$ fee, 15$ discount for non profits. 2 EMDRIA credits.
I post weekly "Ruh-minations" on Facebook and LinkedIn. “Ruh-minations” are little nuggets about EMDR therapy, parenting, favorite resources, countertransference and insight that I have gained over the years.
