Agenda. During the workshop, we will view the 1-hour video, EMDR with Phobia, which is an EMDR therapy session demonstration using Cognitive Interweaves. Prior to viewing the video, we'll first review the EMDR therapy Standard Protocol and Cognitive Interweaves, then apply this knowledge to a critique of the video. During the workshop, we'll also review specific case situations that can occur during EMDR therapy sessions and attendees will be able to practice identifying effective Cognitive Interweaves.
Information from the resource book, "The Therapeutic Interweave in EMDR" will be presented during the workshop.
