I am excited to be presenting at the WCSAD 2021 conference on October 2, 2021, Saturday, 2:00-3:30pm at the La Quinta Resort & Club in La Quinta, CA on You are Not Your Anger: Mindfulness and EMDR Therapy for Anger Management. Anger is a symptom of many diagnoses and difficulties treated with EMDR therapy and other trauma-focused therapies, including but not limited to addiction, PTSD and complex PTSD. Meanwhile, an inability to identify or process anger can be a primary presenting issue on its own. Anger Management is not just about defusing rage. It is about helping clients develop a new relationship with their anger through resourcing and reprocessing. Attendees will identify how the EMDR eight-phase standard protocol and the Adaptive Information Processing Model, along with mindfulness-based strategies can treat anger when it is a primary presenting issue for therapy, or within all the diagnoses impacted by this important but unwieldy emotion. Attendees will evaluate the application of anger management and distinguish how to apply a trauma-focused care approach to anger. This workshop is appropriate for EMDR clinicians and non-EMDR clinicians.
