EMDR Therapy & DBT for Trauma Focused Care: A Beautiful Fusion
Presented LIVE in real-time! This course is also available as a homestudy if you cannot take the live version on June 11, 2021.
9:00am-4:30pm EST
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.
Attendance at the entire event is required to receive CE. No partial credit can be given.

After this course, participants will be able to:
Discuss the history of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), theoretical perspectives, skills, interventions, and framework

Discuss applications of this comparison/contrast to Phase 1 (Client History) in EMDR and overall case conceptualization
Teach 5-7 DBT skills to clients, as well as giving and reviewing meaningful homework assignments
Integrate these skills into EMDR therapy Phases 2 & 7 and implement homework into Phase 7 & 8
