Intended Audience

This workshop is intended for mental health professionals who have completed an EMDRIA approved EMDR Therapist training in EMDR (both Part I and Part II) and the 10 hours of consultation.

The Speaker

Katie O’Shea, MS, LCPC, is an EMDRIA Approved Consultant, and a Trauma-Recovery/HAP Senior Facilitator. Having spent forty years treating all ages and almost all diagnoses, twenty-six with EMDR, she attempts to support each person’s healing potential in efficient, effective and empowering ways. Katie has identified “EMDR Friendly Preparation Methods” which allow clients to maximize their innate ability to unlearn what’s no longer useful and learn what is. She originated the Early Trauma Protocol for EMDR making it possible to fully reprocess experiences held in implicit memory by focusing on time periods rather than specific experiences. Katie has presented at European, Canadian and International EMDR Conferences since 1997.


Learning Objectives

  • Identify challenges to applying EMDR to early developmental trauma as informed by neurobiological studies.
  • Prepare the client for early trauma processing with client-friendly education and resources.
  • Efficiently update innate affective resources without accessing disturbing material.
  • Systematically target early disturbance held in implicit memory.
  • Use “Imaginal Interweaves” to stimulate blocked processing and ensure reprocessing is complete.

 

About the Workshop

The challenges of using EMDR for early trauma and neglect are that 1) EMDR readily targets explicit memories, but early trauma is held in implicit memory in the right hemisphere and is not typically subject to direct recall. 2) Accessing the felt sense of early experience can be overwhelming if it includes the paucity of internal resources of a neglected baby. This workshop addresses both problems through careful preparation and systematic trauma reprocessing. The preparation includes A) containment, B) safe state, and C) resetting innate emotional resources, which appear to directly act upon primary process affective circuits to down-regulate the experience of emotional intensity. After the three Preparation steps, the method systematically reprocesses early trauma, in the absence of explicit memory. It targets consecutive time periods beginning before birth and installs positive experience.  As a result, the client builds a foundation of a felt sense of attachment and belonging, with emergent positive cognitions, enabling the client to meet the next developmental milestone in sequence. The procedures were developed by Katie O’Shea as an outgrowth of experience with EMDR Therapy, including Sandra Paulsen’s work treating ego states with EMDR. The two have collaborated on these methods since 2006.
