The gearbox: how to adapt emdr to the treatment of people with complex trauma and dissociative disorders
Working in EMDR with people suffering from complex trauma often leads to difficulties concerning the treatment plan, but also at the level of desensitization, retreatment, with a risk of major destabilization, and a break in treatment. Often, many targets, especially those in early childhood, are preverbal in nature and therefore remain implicit.
Do we have to give up working in EMDR with these people?
Is it possible to apply EMDR safely and without getting lost, adapting it to each person, so different from another, and their somewhat chaotic life events?
The gearbox, passing through the metaphor of a road trip, suggests, for navigating through therapy with people suffering from complex trauma, a hierarchical treatment structure, which allows the therapist to adapt to the patient, to his context of life, knowing what he does, and why he does it. The result is a more self-confident therapist, able to adapt and therefore more secure and more flexible for the patient.
By integrating current knowledge of EMDR therapy for this type of population, the gearbox constitutes an adaptive and dynamic tool.
Goals
Understand the prioritization of EMDR protocols in the event of complex trauma
Being able to decide on the appropriate protocol, allowing the patient to move forward in EMDR therapy, without being confused
To be able to desensitize and reprocess early traumatic and preverbal imprints
