Giving a simple structure to complex trauma: How to treat complex trauma more effectively

EMDR has been proven to be effective in handling both simple and complex traumas. However complex traumas is not quite a well defined area yet, it’s span over multiple clinical diagnoses, with a high variety in the level of difficulty and complexity. To point it simply, it can be a messy and chaotic experience especially for the inexperienced clinicians. This workshop aims to give a simpler perspective and structure to help EMDR clinicians dealing with complex trauma, it can be helpful especially to beginner in EMDR, but it may also give new insights and tools for the more experienced EMDR clinicians. In this workshop participant will learn about dealing with the various psychological defences that is resulted from the complex trauma process, how to help the client make peace with their Core and Primal Anxieties, how to use a new stabilization technique (PIE BUN) and integration with the standard EMDR protocol and AIP Model.
