Seminar Outlines

Christchurch Day 1. 25 February  2025 from 9 am - 4.30 pm:  EMDR Therapy  from Stabilizing to Reprocessing

 This workshop explores the practical problems faced by EMDR therapists with different levels of experience in applying the AIP model and EMDR procedures with their patients as identified in actual consultation sessions. Common clinical dilemmas, essential concepts and practical skills are illustrated with numerous clinical vignettes and video recordings that add clarity to the presentation.

Participants will be able to recognize and conceptualize frequent problems encountered with survivors of severe neglect and traumatization such as with individuals suffering from Personality Disorders and Dissociative Disorders. In some cases, these issues can be related to undetected dissociation as well as to countertransference and vicarious traumatization.

Christchurch Day 2. 26 February  2025 from 9 am - 430 pm: Working with parts  in dissociative disorder, a clinician's guide

Many therapists report problems in working with patients with dissociative disorders, especially regarding developing the treatment plan, structuring the sessions, or managing the patient’s internal conflict, as well as working with those parts that are most challenging. When parts are stuck in trauma, it is easy to encounter a wide range of difficulties in therapy. Some of the main problems are related to the internal conflict presented by these patients, who show difficulties in regulatory capacities, distrust, and hostility.

Working with dissociative disorders requires approaching the difficulties of this clinical population, as well as developing skills to adapt the procedures and techniques. This workshop will describe useful concepts to help therapists understand patients with dissociative disorders and organize the work plan. In addition, a variety of techniques and tools for the different steps of the work will be illustrated, allowing for safe interventions with various types of clinical problems and dissociative parts

Learning Objectives

1. Participants will be able to distinguish ego states from dissociative parts
2. Participants will be able to describe a structure to work with dissociative parts
3. Participants will be able to identify at least 4 relevant aspects to keep in mind in the work with challenging parts
4. Participants will be able to apply a guide for structuring the clinical session

Auckland Day 1 March 3 2025, from 9 am to 430 pm. Working with emotional abuse, severe neglect and invisibility

The effects of emotional abuse, feeling like a burden for others or unwanted have a profound effect on the child and future adult. In early childhood, caregivers’ affective signals and lack of contingent availability present a more common perceived threat to the child’s development of a secure sense of self than the actual level of physical danger or risk for the child’s survival. These “hidden traumas” of neglect, related to the caretakers’ inability to modulate affective dysregulation, result in deactivating responses to attachment cues. Children who learn to deactivate automatic responses never develop basic abilities such as co-regulation, emotional regulation, and self-care. In addition, in some households, having needs or expressing them may be dangerous and children are neither given the chance to trust others nor themselves. Experiencing other types of additional traumatic events will complicate the picture even more.

Since children must adapt to survive, victims of severe emotional abuse and neglect must develop strategies to deal with their experiences. These survival strategies become automatic and may be difficult to identify in adults. Clients often learn to ignore their emotions and their most basic needs, which makes them feel invisible, unseen, and neglected. As adults they keep seeing themselves through the eyes of the people who have hurt them and tend to treat themselves in the same way they were treated as children.

In this workshop, participants will learn practical tools to work with the effects of early attachment disruptions and neglect, including feeling invisible. avoidance, distrust, and lack of self-acceptance. As therapists, modeling a new way for clients to learn look at themselves through empathy and compassion becomes crucial.

Videotaped clinical case examples will be shown.

Auckland Day 2 March 4 2025, from 9 am to 430pm, Therapeutic challenges in the use of EMDR to Complex Trauma
Do you ever find it difficult to organize the treatment plan with complex cases? Do the tools that usually work with other clients fall short? Do you have a hard time setting realistic goals with some clients? Do you ever feel confused about where to start and how to maintain a working structure? Do you sometimes doubt what to do, how and when? Do you feel that there are blockages that are difficult to manage? This presentation will answer these questions and other practical issues related to common challenges in working with trauma and, in particular, with trauma processing with EMDR therapy. Cases with different problems and points of blockage and the tools to organize the work and handle the various challenges that usually arise will be described.

Learning Objectives

1. Participants will be able to identify and identify defenses and how the show up in therapy.
2. Participants will be able to describe at least 5 tools to aid processing in the different phases of EMDR Therapy with Complex Trauma cases.
3. Participants will be able to describe at least 4 complicated issues around trauma processing with Complex Trauma Cases.
