EMDR-AIP intervention for adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse (CSA)

Childhood sexual abuse (CSA) involves traumatic experiences that include acute commission traumas and omission traumas related to attachment, contributing to create complex adult symptomatic presentations. Adult survivors of CSA exhibit complex PTSD features, including a great impact on self-concept, guilt and symptoms related to disgust in addition to fear, high levels of dissociative symptoms, all of which make them difficult to address. In this presentation, I will outline a conceptual framework form which to treat these cases, within the EMDR-AIP model, analyzing what adjustments need to be made in the assessment and intervention phases of the standard protocol, offering specific interventions to work with these complex cases.
