EMDR Stepping Stones - Masterclass in Interweaving Phase 2 for Complex and Dissociative Clients

Presented by Naomi Iliffe and Fiona Mawson - EMDRAA & EMDRIA Accredited Consultants 

Join us to deepen your knowledge and skills in supporting your complex and dissociative clients with a focus on 'parts work', Polyvagal interventions and interweaving Phase 2 strategies into Phases 4-7. 

Join us for a Masterclass in Phase 2 for Complex and Dissociative Clients. In this training Fiona and Naomi will take you through a number of practical strategies and techniques to help your complex and dissociative clients prepare for EMDR Therapy trauma memory reprocessing. Participants will learn;

• Structural Dissociation: 1.5 day introduction including the opportunity to practice Frasers Table and how to work with emotional parts to ensure they are orientated to time, safe and able to work colaboratively to begin memory reprocessing.
• The following 1.5 days will have an overview of Polyvagal Theory and specific Polyvagal strategies to help your complex clients in Phase 2 - Preparation and Stabilisation. This part of the training will draw on the work of Stephen Porges, Deb Dana and Peter Levine.
• You will also take home a structured workbook, written by Naomi and Fiona, to guide your clients through strategies for distress tolerance, emotional regaulation and safety in expressing/experiencing emotions. This work draws on some of the work of Joany Spierings and Fiona and Naomi's own strategies developed in over 35 combined years of trauma work.
• Learn how you can interweave Phase 2 strategies into Phase 4-7 to help your complex and dissociative clients stay present, regulated, safe and within their Window of Tolerence, so they can maintain dual attention to reprocess trauma content successfully.
