Utilization of EMDR therapy with grief and mourning

A traumatic loss can disable the ability to cope, impair functioning, compromise the ability to go through the processes necessary for adaptation, and complicate the mourning. EMDR processing allows the client to experience, express and process the pain. This enables the linking in of adaptive information allowing the client to progress through the psychological processes important for assimilation and accommodation of the loss. A framework for grief and mourning (including the importance of attachment) will be discussed and how the 8 phase EMDR therapy protocol can be integrated within an overall treatment framework.
