Learn to access and desensitize trauma networks in EMDR Phases 3 and 4 with Dr. Jennifer Sweeton. In Phase 3, discover how to activate the trauma network by pairing the worst image with the negative cognition (NC), taking a SUDS “temperature check” to ensure activation. Move into Phase 4, exploring desensitization techniques like bilateral stimulation (BLS) using eye movements, tapping, or walking. Dr. Sweeton will compare EMD (restricted) and EMDR (unrestricted) processing, detailing steps like conducting 20–180-second BLS iterations and tracking SUDS reductions. Learn tips like using a “time out signal” and avoiding redirection during EMD to keep focus on the target. This webinar equips you with practical skills to safely reduce clients’ trauma-related distress, enhancing your EMDR toolkit.

AGENDA

Lecture & Brief Discussion (60 min) – Learn to activate targets using images and negative cognitions, apply bilateral stimulation techniques, and track progress with SUDS. Understand the difference between EMD and EMDR processing to reduce trauma-related distress safely and effectively.
