What past participants have said:

"It was really fascinating watching how each session unfolded and the collaboration among parts."
"Learning the skills and then watching the example via video was awesome."

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
  • Describe the complex internal structure of clients with Dissociative Identity Disorder.
  • Identify when dissociative phobias are blocking EMDR therapy and several useful ways to lessen their impact.
  • Utilize newly learned skills to communicate more effectively with alters (Apparently Normal Parts/Emotional Parts), especially perpetrator introjects/imitator parts
  • Working through the Self, build communication and trust among parts of the personality.
  • Discuss several specific ways to use EMDR very early in treatment to stabilize clients with DID.
  • Explain how to empower the adult to take care of internal child parts and why we avoid the reification of child alters/Emotional Parts.
