INNOVATIVE SESSIONSWe have workshops into our program that fall under the category of "innovative". These are programs that may not fit the EMDRIA Definition of EMDR, but show promise in extending applications of EMDR-based theory or methodology. EMDRIA Credits will be granted for these sessions. They will also be eligible for all other CEU's that we offer for the Conference.

Part 2What exactly happens on a neurobiological basis when we live our normal existence? What are the online wakeful underpinnings of consciousness? How does this vary from offline/sleep information processing? What are the implications of these data on the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model? This workshop will examine current neuro-biological research regarding online/wakeful information processing, including sensation, perception, somatosensory integration, cog-nition, memory, language and motricity. In addition, off-line/sleep information process-ing, such as slow wave sleep and cognitive memorial processing, as well as REM/dream sleep and its function in emotional memory processing will be examined. The final sec-tion will integrate these data to illustrate their consistency with the tenets of the AIP model and the implication of this material with re-spect to current EMDR treatment principles.

SESSION 101APPLICATIONS OF AIP MODEL FOR CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS IN EMDR THERAPYCAROL YORK, MSSW, LCSW

This workshop is designed for clinicians who treat children, adolescents, and adults who are seeking to deepen their understanding of EMDR principles, protocols, and procedures. The presenter will present an overview of important theoretical concepts that provide a comprehensive foundation to the under-standing of the Adaptive Information Pro-cessing Model (AIP). Building on the basic pre-cepts of the model, participants will enhance their understanding of EMDR Therapy as a three pronged approach and the purposes and procedures of the eight phases of EMDR treatment.


SESSION 102THE NEUROBIOLOGY OF TRAUMA AND EMDR PROCESSINGSHELLEY URAM, M.D.; URI BERGMANN, PH.D.

Part 1This workshop explains the neurobiology of trauma in a simple, yet highly usable man-ner. Upon completion of this workshop, attendees should be able to readily apply this information for better formulating their clients’ issues and EMDR treatment plan-ning. The topics include: 1 - How does a normal nervous system operate? 2 - What is Trauma? 3 - What is the “bottom line” of chronic trauma syndromes (e.g., PTSD)? 4 - How does childhood development factor into adult trauma symptoms? 5 - Treatment.

SESSION 201THE CUTTING EDGE OF MIND-BODY MEDICINE: FROM IMMUNOLOGY TO NEUROSCIENCEJOAN BORYSENKO, PH.D.

The most important determinant of physical health is mental health. Adverse childhood experiences set the stage for chronic illness, substance abuse, and trauma later in life through epigenetic changes, neurochemistry, immune function and brain wiring. We will examine how evidence-based psychological interventions rewire neurohormonal circuitry and help restore both physical and men-tal homeostasis. Interventions include the modification of explanatory style, stress har-diness and resilience training, narrative medi-cine, meditation and mindfulness techniques, imagery, and cognitive approaches. Since the quality of the provider-client relationship is key to healing, there will be a focus on how to optimize the therapeutic bond.

How many of you left your EMDR Basic Train-ing, so excited to start the next day with a client, only to find that your client did not respond well to EMDR treatment planning, to the safe place exercise, or looped end-lessly in Phase 4? These clients may present as highly defended, personality disordered, chaotic, avoidant, uncontained, and/or

dissociative. This workshop will focus on case conceptualization from the AIP per-spective and provide concrete practical skills, resources and strategies to assist the clini-cian to help these complex clients. This training picks up where Basic Training leaves off, a “Weekend 3” for complex trauma.

SESSION 224EASY ATTACHMENT RESOURCING FOR EMDRROBIN SHAPIRO, MSW, LICSW

Easy Attachment Resourcing for EMDR pres-ents several user-friendly ego-state-based resources, fitted to the phases and prongs, for enhancing attachment skills, self-sooth-ing, and maintaining dual attention during processing. Preparation phases: find and in-stall skill-based parenting, protecting, or cop-ing ego states, which can be “front-loaded” just before the Assessment phase begins. Safe Places will contain a nurturing and pro-tective attachment-object. The Two-Hand Interweave “front-loads” or finds targets or attaches a dissociated child part to a nur-turing/protective adult part. If dual-attention is lost during Desensitization, participants will know to interweave/reinstall an Adult nurtur-ing/protective part in order to keep clients present and processing.


SESSION 225THE EQUILATERAL PROTOCOL: THE FIRST EMDR PROTOCOL TO INTEGRATE ANIMAL ASSISTED THERAPYSARAH JENKINS, MC, LPC

This highly interactive workshop introduces the first Animal Assisted EMDR Protocol. The EquiLateral™ Protocol offers clients, via the integration of Equine Assisted Therapy within the standard EMDR protocol, highly benefi-cial and unique approach to EMDR that still maintains fidelity to EMDR’s research based, eight phase, three pronged, standard proto-col. The EquiLateral™ Protocol offers clients with complex trauma opportunities to learn affect tolerance, grounding skills and the abil-ity to maintain the dual attention necessary to complete the eight phases of EMDR while maintain treatment fidelity. This beneficial and highly interactive workshop will include case studies, discussion, role-plays, videos, and case studies.

interconnection of subtle energies-systems of information – we call the mind. The new field of interpersonal neurobiology describes how the mind is both embodied in our brain and nervous system as well as embedded in our relationships. The quality of those rela-tionships- whether they evoke love, com-passion, and mindfulness or fear, anger, and constriction – affect the release of informa-tional molecules. These “mind molecules” in turn create epigenetic changes that affect both physical and mental health.


SESSION 232A WINDOW INTO THE BLACK BOX: SUBLETITES OF EMDR PROCESSINGPHILIP MANFIELD, PH.D.

EMDR processing can seem like a black box, a process that mysteriously results in healing. Clients often spontaneously use the word, “magic.” As clinicians, we are gratified by the results, and may not be so interested in spe-cifically what caused EMDR to be effective in a particular session, except when it wasn’t. That’s when we need to know what is go-ing on in that black box so that we can fix it. This presentation uses video segments of five EMDR sessions to illustrate how to think about EMDR processing and get it back on track when it’s not working.


SESSION 233KEEPING IT IN THE ZONE: ASSESSMENT AND TECHNIQUES FOR OPTIMAL PROCESSINGBARRY LITT, MFT

This workshop focuses on identifying and maintaining the conditions necessary for op-timal processing. Part one describes a model for rapid assessment of negative cognitions and predicts the course of the process-ing: the Domains of Self. Part two describes the conditions for effective processing: the zone of optimal arousal. The zone is the intersection of two dynamic client variables: dual attention and autonomic arousal. This

allows the therapist to assess if, when, and what phase four interventions are needed. Some of these interventions include somatic interweaves. Described in part three, these are body-oriented techniques that can be utilized in phase four.


SESSION 234TREATING PREVERBAL TRAUMA WITH EMDR: TWO CHILD CASESDEBRA WESSELMANN, MS, LIMHP; STEFANIE ARMSTRONG, LIMHP; CATHY SCHWEITZER, LMHP; ANN POTTER, PH.D.

Two child cases will be presented illustrat-ing implementation of EMDR to treat children with severe symptoms and behaviors and a history of preverbal trauma. An EMDR child therapist and a parent therapist collaborated in the treatment of an eight-year-old child who had a liver transplant at age one and resided in the hospital until age two. An EMDR child therapist and family therapist col-laborated in the treatment of a twelve-year-old child who spent the first 8 months of life in orphanage care. The presentation includes pre-treatment and post-treatment scores on several child and parent measures as well as video footage.


SESSION 235BREAKING THE ACE (ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES) POOR HEALTH CYCLE WITH EMDR TREATMENTCAROL FORGASH, MSW, LCSW, BCD

EMDR treatment will be presented as a suc-cessful model for dealing with the ACE*/Poor Health cycle of problems of trauma survivors. The development of an EMDR Treatment Plan to treat both health and ACE problems with a focus on a Health History and specific target selection is highlighted.

SESSION 301ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES STUDYVINCENT FELITTI, M.D.

The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study is a long term, in-depth, epidemiologic analysis of over 17,000 middle-aged, mid-dle-class Americans, matching their current health status against 10 categories of ad-verse childhood experiences that occurred on average a half-century earlier. This ongo-ing collaborative effort by Kaiser Permanente and the CDC found that:

• Adverse childhood experiences are surprisingly common although typically concealed and unrecognized because of time, shame, secrecy, and social ta-boo.

• They still exert a profound effect 50 years later, although now transformed from life experience into organic disease and mental illness.

SESSION 236A CLOSER LOOK AT THE STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES OF THE AIP: A FAIR AND BALANCED REVIEWWILLIAM ZANGWILL, PH.D.; HOWARD LIPKE, PH.D.; ROY KIESSLING, LISW; CURT ROUANZOIN, PH.D.

Over the past few years, there has been an increasing emphasis on the role of the AIP in EMDR. Yet, while there is substantial re-search supporting the efficacy of EMDR pro-cedures, the underlying assumptions of the AIP are unproven. Thus, the purpose of this presentation is to look at the strengths and weaknesses of the AIP from both a theoreti-cal and clinical perspective. It is posited that a frank, open, and nuanced discussion of the AIP will be of benefit to the participants and greater EMDR community. Significant time has been allotted for audience questions and comments.


SESSION 237 | INNOVATIVE SESSIONAn Innovative presentation is considered an alternative procedure, protocol or explana-tion other than the standard EMDR method and model. The innovation seeks to ex-pand, strengthen, and/or explain the already successful method and/or model. The intent is to assist in the development of promising innovations by providing an opportunity for the presentation, discussion, and support for research to validate the innovation and/or potential applications.APPLICATION OF INTUITIVE SKILLS, RESONANCE, AND MINDFUL AWARENESS IN EMDRIRENE SIEGEL, PH.D., LCSW

• Adverse childhood experiences are the main determinant of the health and so-cial well-being of the nation, as well as of adult medical care costs.

• Integrating these findings into primary care medical practice appears to pro-duce a significant reduction in medical care costs, and is surprisingly resisted.

The Adverse Childhood Experiences Study thus has direct and important relevance to the practice of medicine and psychiatry, and to the field of social planning.



SESSION 311THE UNFORGIVEN: EMDR, EGO STATE THERAPY AND ATTACHMENT IN EATING DISORDER TREATMENTANDREW SEUBERT, LPC, NCC

The Unforgiven: EMDR, ego state therapy, attachment repair and forgiveness in the treatment of eating disorders explores the presence of dissociation in clients with eat-ing disorders, particularly anorexia nervosa. The approach employs an EMDR phase model, expanding the evaluation and prepa-ration phases. Preparation presents a 4-step method of teaching emotional competence, attachment repair strategies, as well as the use of ego state therapy. Processing requires mindful body awareness, as well as the ability to titrate released disturbance and re-stabilize after EMDR application to touchstone events. Self-forgiveness emerges as healing occurs. Video clips and case studies will reinforce learning.


SESSION 312RELATIONAL EMDR – THE NEXT GENERATIONMARK DWORKIN, LCSW

Ever had the experience of feeling triggered by a patient with Complex PTSD, and not

know what to do? Early trauma turns the learning brain of the infant into the survival brain, defending against harm rather than feeling safe to explore. This difference has implications for an enhanced relational ap-proach. You will learn how to use dyadic reg-ulation of affect to lessen ruptures; identify ruptures to attunement, and learn relational strategies to repair these ruptures including the relational interweave. The mirror neuron system demonstrates that it is impossible to,”Stay out of the way.” Videos will illustrate these strategies.

Innova-tions in the EMDR field (O’Shea, 2009, O’Shea & Paulsen, 2007; Paulsen & O’Shea in press) for repairing trauma and neglect in infancy are built on this foundation of neurobiologi-cal developments. These include: subcorti-cal affective circuits, gestational learning, the amygdale and other basal ganglia as the locus for object relations affect processing, polyvagal theory of resources and social engagement, the right hemisphere locus of somatic, implicit and relational memory, mir-ror neurons and clinical intuition, and more.

This session will use the Adaptive Informa-tion Processing (AIP) model to cover the eight phases of the EMDR protocol with spe-cial application to combat veterans. One presenter will focus on contemporary war veterans (Desert Storm, OIF/OEF/OND) while the other addresses problematic scenarios working with Vietnam veterans. Each dif-ferent war cohort faces unique and distinct challenges that require in-depth knowledge to successfully navigate treatment. At the end of this session attendees will have great-er knowledge and understanding when treat-ing a combat veteran of any era.

SESSION 331THE ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES (ACE) STUDY, ADDICTION, AND THE ROLE OF EMDRSUSAN BROWN, LCSW, BCD

This workshop will present an overview of the ‘addiction-specific’ outcomes from the Kaiser Permanente-CDC Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study (Felitti et al, 1998),

personality disorder focuses on the “overt” qualities of narcissism while omitting the less obvious and subtle “covert” characteristics. All of these aspects may be present in both abusers and victims, in either overt or subtle presentations. To conceptualize these cases it is important to understand the develop-mental pathways from early experiences to present problems. Being able to identify (and reprocess) the etiological experiences at the roots of the symptoms is crucial for an ad-equate case conceptualization. Video cases will be shown to illustrate adaptations and treatment methods.

SESSION 322RECOGNIZING AND WORKING WITH AFFECT PHOBIAS IN EMDR – IN CLIENT AND CLINICIANANDREW LEEDS, PH.D.

In cases of dissociative and personality dis-orders, affect phobias in the client or clini-cian can disrupt reprocessing. EMDR therapy can still be effective when clinicians have the conceptual understanding and perceptual skills to recognize these defenses and use a flexible set of advanced EMDR procedures for responding. After reviewing hypnotic ap-proaches for affect tolerance (Daitch, 2007) and McCullough’s affect phobia model (1997, 2003), we will explore published, advanced EMDR procedures for defense and affect re-structuring. Finally, we will consider how cli-nicians can mitigate the potential impact of countertransference, vicarious traumatiza-tion, and their own affect phobias in their clinical work.

the largest, most influential epidemiological study of our time. Case conceptualization with the AIP with addictions will be explored as well as the converging evidence between the ACE Study and our current understanding of the neurobiology of addictions. Proposed “novel” treatment approaches suggested by current research such as “cue extinction” and “reconsolidation” (Torregrossa & Taylor, 2012) will be compared and contrasted with both standard EMDR and ‘addiction-specific’ proto-col modifications using case study data.


SESSION 332FREQUENT PROBLEMS USING EMDR IN THE SPECTRUM FROM NOVICE TO EXPERIENCED EMDR CLINICIANSANDREW LEEDS, PH.D.; ANABEL GONZALEZ, M.D.; DOLORES MOSQUERA, PSY

This workshop explores practical problems therapists face applying the AIP model and EMDR procedures across all eight phases of EMDR as identified in consultation. These issues begin at the “novice” level with the discovery the safe place exercise can be a trigger for clients who never learned what “safe” is. They continue with “experienced” clinicians who encounter subtle (and overt) reenactments in the therapeutic relation-ship. Common clinical dilemmas, essential concepts and practical skills are illustrated with numerous clinical vignettes and video recordings that add clarity and humor to the presentation. Participants will learn how to identify and mange their own difficult clinical situations.


SESSION 333RESTORING DIGNITY: HEALING CULTURALLY-BASED WOUNDSMARK NICKERSON, LICSW

Culturally-based social identities such as gender, age, socioeconomic status, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, physical ap-pearance, cognitive ability, and mental health capacity can be contaminated by traumatic

experiences of social stigmatization and dis-crimination. Research supported information from the fields of social psychology and so-cial work informs a culturally attuned EMDR approach that can help restore the core dig-nity of the person mistreated or oppressed just for being who they are. Useful treatment strategies will be taught including a culturally aware psycho-social history, guidelines for case formulation, resource development, al-ternative NCs/PCs, and strategic target selec-tion. A protocol for treating prejudice will be described.

SESSION 432THE USE OF EMDR IN PREVERBAL TRAUMAPHYLLIS KLAUS, MFT, LCSW

Psychological, somatic and medical problems often have their origins in more obscure be-ginnings. This EMDR workshop teaches a deep and comprehensive history taking and decision-making process to help the clini-cian choose the level of complexity to use in the face of a client’s distress. Thus enabling the clinician to help the client more quickly gain access to preverbal underlying factors, which may block healing. A clearer picture of the condition provides a clearer targeting sequence for EMDR processing. Participants will learn methods to work within the mind/body memory of, fetal or infant life and early preverbal years to retrieve trauma informa-tion. Examples of how EMDR Therapy easily integrates into other psychological methods, which have been used with this population, will be presented.


SESSION 433PSYCHOSIS, TRAUMA, DISSOCIATION, AND EMDRCOLIN ROSS, MD

In order to treat psychosis with EMDR, one must have a psychological model that is consistent with the adaptive information pro-cessing model of EMDR, and with the targets of EMDR including traumatic material held in dissociated form in the psyche. In this work-shop, such a model of psychosis will be presented. The presenter will describe strate-gies for engaging psychotic voices in psycho

been put forward to explain the mechanism of action of EMDR, including Shapiro’s Accel-erated Information Processing (AIP) model as well as models built around the concepts of working memory, de-arousal, the relaxation response, inter-hemispheric communication, and REM sleep mimicry, not to mention the nihilistic “it’s just exposure plus hand waving” hypothesis. In this session, we will present an overview of how such models can be evaluated, and then review each of them, asking what it can tell us both about how EMDR works and about the effects of eye movements in specific. Our own REM sleep mimicry model will be presented in more de-tail, and its fit with the AIP model examined.

SESSION 431NEUROBIOLOGY, ADAPTIVE INFORMATION PROCESSING, AND TRAUMATIC DISSOCIATIONULRICH LANIUS, PH.D.

Recent neuroscience research is discussed with a view towards increasing our under-standing of underlying neurobiological pro-cesses with respect to the phenomenology of dissociation. It is suggested that dissocia-tion is a result on a breakdown in the link-ing of different neural networks in the time domain, e.g. information processing. Recent research suggests that both lower brain structures as well as higher brain structures are involved. It is suggested that this process is essential to our understanding both of dis-sociation on one hand, as well as Adaptive Information Processing on the other.

SESSION 434EARLY EMDR INTERVENTIONS: PREVENTING PTSD AND OTHER DISASTER RELATED INJURIESBEVERLEE LAIDLAW-CHASSE, MC, LPC; JULIE MILLER, MC, LPC, LISAC

This workshop will familiarize participants with early EMDR interventions for those in-volved in a recent traumatic event. Partici-pants will briefly address the science behind early psychological intervention after a trau-ma/disaster, including the physical, cognitive, emotional, and spiritual impacts during and after the event, with and without interven-tion. The memory of recent trauma differs from that of a more distant trauma in that it tends to be more fragmented or uncon-solidated and less integrated into a coherent, narrative sequence of events or theme clus-ter (Shapiro, Francine, 2001) (Shapiro, Elan, 2008). Several EEI protocols will be reviewed.


SESSION 435EMDR TREATMENT OF MIGRAINE AND CHRONIC DAILY HEADACHEEMRE KONUK, MA; ZEYNEP ZAT, MA

Chronic headache is one of the most com-mon and disabling problems that one can

have. EMDR treatment was used for its treat-ment and has provided promising results. An EMDR Chronic Headache Protocol was devel-oped and a pilot study was conducted to see its effectiveness. The preliminary analy-ses revealed that the frequency, duration and the strength of the headaches, the number of Emergency Care visits, and the number of pills taken by patients decreased significantly. The aim of this workshop is to present how to use this protocol in the treatment of pa-tients diagnosed with Chronic Daily Headache and Migraine.


SESSION 436ENHANCING COMPETENCY IN EMDR THROUGH EFFECTIVE CLINICAL SUPERVISION AND CONSULTATIONDEREK FERRELL, PH.D.

The effective integration of the teaching and learning of EMDR into clinical practice is some-times easier said than done. Recent research has indicated that over 40% of EMDR training participants struggle to integrate EMDR into their clinical practice post EMDR training. This workshop will outline initially some of the findings from a Delphi study which explored EMDR Consultant’s experiences in relation to the teaching and learning of EMDR and how this relates to clinical practice, and more spe-cifically, EMDR clinical supervision and con-sultation. Key attributes of EMDR clinical su-pervision/Consultation will be reflected upon using various models and frameworks.
