When earliest relationships are traumatic, attachment
injuries can significantly change the trajectory of one’s
life. Bonding and attachment are neurobiologically
driven survival mechanisms; but when irreconcilable
conflict exists within the innate mechanisms of survival
and attachment, individuals can experience extreme
distress leading to mental health disorders and physical
disease. Although these conditions may begin in infancy,
if untreated they can endure for a lifetime. It is so
essential that attachment disruptions be addressed in
both children and adults experiencing complex trauma
reactions, including Axis II conditions and dissociation.
EMDR provides a comprehensive, integrative, and
effective approach to the treatment of attachment and
the dissociative sequelae.
WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES
List 3 aspects that form the theoretical basis for
conceptualizing treatment with EMDR for children,
adolescents, and adults based on the neurobiological
underpinnings of attachment
Describe how the Adaptive Information Processing
model addresses the impact of attachment trauma
while providing support for the efficacy of EMDR as an
integrative treatment approach
Illustrate how therapists integrate treatment strategies
throughout the eight-phase EMDR approach for clients
of all ages suffering from attachment disruptions
Explore the practical usage of various theories linking
the contribution of attachment trauma to dissociative
symptoms with recommendations for treatment to
successfully repair attachment trauma and to improve
client symptom presentation
Demonstrate 3 creative treatment techniques for both
improving developmental deficits and infusing an
emotional scaffolding for adaptive resolution of
traumatic experiences through the use of EMDR.
