LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  1. Name the Different Types of Dissociation. You will understand the spectrum of dissociation and become familiar with the types of dissociation clients may have and how each protects the mind, alongside understanding how the conceptualization and diagnosing of dissociation progressed through the past few hundred years.
  2. Assess Dissociative Disorders: Learn to administer and interpret the DES (Dissociative Experiences Scale) to appropriately conceptualize treatment with clients who have dissociative disorders.
  3. Discuss Dissociation with Clients: Develop the ability to discuss dissociation and its treatment with a new client.
  4. Identify and Map Internal Parts: Learn about meeting and identifying the Self-States (Parts) of a dissociated/fragmented internal system, including how they identify themselves through different jobs/roles, and how using simple drawings (maps) can help therapists understand the internal organization of the system.
  5. Strengthen Internal System Cohesion: Learn to increase co-consciousness with the Conference Room visualization and create internal structure with The Internal House visualization. This also includes learning tools for enhancing safety and teaching Parts how to control “coming forward” and “stepping back”.
  6. Apply Stabilization Techniques (EMDR-Phase 2): Utilize the Flash Technique as a stabilization tool to reduce the intensity of past emotions and process past trauma, and become familiar with how to use the Finding Solid Ground program and Workbook during early treatment to further stabilize the system in preparation for EMDR processing. Learn how to help clients reduce derealization and depersonalization.
  7. Implement Containment Visualizations: Discover the use of containment visualizations, such as the “fog curtain,” to limit other Parts from experiencing unprocessed emotional pain from a Part keeping pain hidden.
  8. Integrate EMDR Trauma Processing: Learn when to add EMDR trauma processing to the treatment once major traumatic memories have been stabilized and/or partially processed with Flash.
  9. Resource Installation for Parts: Learn ways to install resources to strengthen Parts, if needed, before and during EMDR processing.
  10. Identify Clinical Indicators for Using Blending and Fusion Techniques: Understand when and how to use Blending visualizations for short-term and long-term Blending/Fusion.
