On Day 1: There will be didactic presentation on diagnosis, the 3 phases of trauma treatment, followed by didactic on adaptations of resources from the preparation and closure phases of EMD to facilitate stabilization, orient DD clients to the present, and decrease negative transferences. Participants will have the opportunity for practicums on stabilization & orienting exercises.
On Day 2: Didactic material will be presented on a protective format for processing traumatic material that can be used with or without EMDR.
