Steps to the session
Target Audience
Trauma clients often get trapped in negative thought loops which they cannot recognize on their own. This results in blocked processing. This video is focused on helping clinicians navigate blocked processing which can occur for a variety of reasons. In addition, you will also learn how to help clients repair damaged developmental that may contribute to blocked processing of traumatic events or periods of their life.

Target Audience
In this Masterclass, Laurel Parnell, PhD, an internationally recognized clinical psychologist, author, consultant, and Attachment-Focused EMDR expert and trainer, explores the essentials of Attachment-Focused EMDR and its application in working with clients who experienced severe sexual trauma.

Target Audience
Dr. Parnell is a leading expert on the therapeutic tool, eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing which is more widely known as EMDR. EMDR is designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories. Dr. Parnell has trained thousands of clinicians in EMDR. Considered a master clinician, Dr. Parnell has produced this video with a volunteer client. EMDR therapy involves a focus on the past, present, and future. Attention is given to past disturbing memories and related events, and current situations that cause distress. Then resourcing is developed through interactions with clients to develop the skills and attitudes needed for positive outcomes. In this video, a patient presents with a new phobia of going over bridges. Dr. Parnell demonstrates how to employ the bridging technique to discover the root causes that link to the phobia. Integrating an Attachment-Focused orientation, she provides encouragement and support to the client as she processes the associated trauma. The client addresses emotionally disturbing events while simultaneously focusing on an external stimulus. Dr. Parnell demonstrates how she helps the client to unblock processing and develop skills for adaptive functioning. This video is a clear and comprehensive demonstration that will help practitioners master the mechanics of EMDR while learning new tools to assist with complex cases.
