What to do when the processing gets blocked in EMDR (3 hours training)
– Michelle Gotlieb & Deborah Silveria
$75 including GST

When we were all trained in EMDR therapy, we were told all you have to do is say, “Go with that” and everything will change. While EMDR therapy is amazingly effective, it is often not quite that simple. Sometimes our clients’ processing stops, and we do not understand why.

In this webinar you will learn about three specific issues that block reprocessing: blocking beliefs, feeder memories and ecological appropriateness. By the end of the workshop, you will understand what these concepts are and have techniques and strategies to help your clients get to a SUD of 0, a VoC of 7 and a clear body scan. Cultural diversity issues in EMDR therapy practice will also be addressed.

Expressive Arts Therapy: An Introduction for Integration with EMDR Therapy and
Other Trauma-Focused Modalities
– Jamie Marich, Ph.D., LPCC-S, REAT, RYT-500
$100 including GST

In this workshop webinar, Dr. Jamie Marich gives participants an overview of expressive arts therapy and some initial ideas on integration. She also will lead participants through an experiential expressive arts “process” on the theme of coping and healing through the current pandemic.

Expressive arts therapy is an approach to psychotherapy with roots in indigenous cultures and a rich history of evolution within modalities such as Jungian, person-centered, and Gestalt psychotherapies. Expressive arts therapy is characterized by its emphasis on the multi-modal process of healing (exploring many combinations for creativity rather than relying on just one art form) and the concept of process (similar to how the adaptive information process model conceptualized trauma healing).
