Meet Amy, an experienced and skilled EMDR therapist who has found herself stuck and triggered during a session with a challenging client. Realizing that the impasse is likely related to herself, not the client, she has come to Laliotis for help. In this evocative session, you’ll observe the effectiveness of Relational EMDR to guide clients through long-term traumatic stress to reach a place of security and confidence.

• Learn to sort through the three likely causes of a clinical impasse impartially—considering the technique and the clinician as well as the client 

• Take in the power of an open-ended question—Is that voice familiar?— and how it leads directly to the target memory early in the exploration process

• Notice how and why Deany focuses reprocessing, not on Amy’s sense of responsibility for her parents’ dysfunctional behavior, but on undoing her profound and overwhelming sense of aloneness in that responsibility

• Learn how to check for complete restructuring of the past belief as well as the emotional shift that ensures the transformation will hold in the future
