The Role of Spirituality in Trauma Wounding and the Healing of EMDR Therapy
My conference presentation at the 2020 EMDRIA Conference is now available as an Online Course through the new EMDRIA On Demand program. Click HERE to learn more and to register. You will have the opportunity to watch the 90-minute presentation and then take an exam afterward for 1.5 EMDRIA credits and 1.5 NBCC CEs. The cost for EMDRIA members is $50 and for non-members is $75.
Course Description: EMDR therapy clients with Complex PTSD, PTSD, and/or addictions often report that spiritual crises play an integral role in their suffering, and use spiritual terms when describing healing. The AIP model posits that maladaptively processed traumas and adverse life events have a profound impact on a client’s ability to make meaning, which is perhaps the core issue addressed by spirituality. Participants will discover the role of spirituality and spiritual wounds in the etiology and treatment of Complex PTSD, PTSD, and addictions utilizing the 8 Phase Protocol. Case examples will highlight implications for case conceptualization, treatment planning, and specific spiritual interventions.

I am excited to be presenting at the now fully virtual EMDRIA 2020 Conference on October 3rd, Saturday, 9am-10:30am PDT on The Role of Spirituality in Trauma Wounding and The Healing of EMDR Therapy. Trauma results in spiritual wounding as it can fracture the survivor’s spiritual connection, core beliefs, values, and sense of meaning and purpose. This loss in spirituality can manifest in disorders such as complex PTSD, PTSD, and addiction. The Standard 8 Phase Protocol and the AIP Model of EMDR therapy are best practices for assessing and treating wounds that are spiritual in nature within these diagnoses. I am excited to present on this topic and I look forward to you joining me at this virtual, interactive experience in October.
