Dyadic resourcing: Creating a foundation for processing trauma
Description
This book addresses the common clinical problem of how clients with severely abusive or deprived childhood backgrounds can be prepared to tolerate the painful feelings that arise with the processing of early trauma.
The preparation phase of EMDR is designed to allow the therapist to establish rapport with the client, familiarize the client with EMDR processes, and prepare her to begin trauma processing. The therapist attends to the physical setup, explanation of EMDR, explains the stop signal, explains the basic metaphors, and describes what to expect during processing. In addition, the therapist may want to give the client a brief explanation of EMDR‟s model of change, the Adaptive Information Processing model (AIP).
