EMDR Therapy & DBT for Trauma Focused Care: A Beautiful Fusion: Homestudy

6 CE credit hours


Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a comprehensive mindfulness-informed intervention for addressing emotional dysregulation as it manifests in a variety of diagnoses. DBT can be used as a stand-alone intervention, or its numerous components (particularly the skills) can be utilized within a comprehensive paradigm of trauma focused care. DBT skills have long been integrated alongside EMDR therapy, especially in Preparation (Phase 2). In this course, participants will gain deeper insight into just how much DBT and EMDR have in common, and consider a richer array of applications for how one can support the other. Participants will learn and apply a multitude of DBT skills and concepts alongside EMDR therapy Phases 2, 7, and 8. Explore how DBT skills and concepts can assist EMDR therapists to work with complicated scenarios related to abreaction, dissociation, and complex trauma within Phases 3-6 of the standard EMDR protocol. Connections between AIP and biosocial theory (DBT) also highlighted, with implications for client history (Phase 1) and case conceptualization explored. Several case studies of how DBT skills were successfully integrated into EMDR therapy are explored throughout the presentation drawing on the presenters’ clinical experiences.


Objectives

After this workshop, participants will be able to:

  1. Discuss the history of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), theoretical perspectives, skills, interventions, and framework

  2. Compare and contrast the biosocial theory of emotions (DBT) with the adaptive information processing (AIP) model of EMDR

  3. Discuss applications of this comparison/contrast to Phase 1 (Client History) in EMDR and overall case conceptualization

  4. Teach 5-7 DBT skills to clients, as well as giving and reviewing meaningful homework assignments

  5. Integrate these skills into EMDR therapy Phases 2 & 7 and implement homework into Phase 7 & 8

  6. Apply DBT skills related to grounding, mindfulness, and distress tolerance in navigating difficult situations in EMDR therapy (e.g., dissociation, abreaction, complex PTSD)

  7. Increase confidence in ability to identify and solve common problems in clinical treatment through a fusion of the DBT and EMDR therapy frameworks
