Monday, October 28, 2024 (1 – 2:30 pm ET) SAVE THE DATE
Presenter: Deany Laliotis, LICSW, LCSW-C
CEs: 1.5 Clinical Social Work contact hours
EMDR therapy has evolved into a comprehensive approach that treats problems of daily living that stem from low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and problems with self-regulation, all byproducts of complex trauma. In this workshop, you’ll learn how EMDR can be used as a relational approach treat complex developmental trauma, not just by targeting painful memories, but by creating the conditions that make it possible for the client to “go there.” As social workers, we know how an attuned “other” can help our clients feel safe enough to process painful experiences that have been previously unapproachable, making it a shared experience that transforms client and therapist alike.
Objectives:
- The Adaptive Information Processing model of EMDR therapy and how as a social worker you can identify the root causes of the client’s present difficulties.
- Specific strategies as a social worker to navigate the moment-to-moment unfolding of experience in and out of memory reprocessing
- How to co-create a corrective emotional experience as a social worker with a client that’s shared, making it safe and relational
