Somatic EMDR: Bringing the Body More Fully Into the 8 Phases with Alison Leslie

Many EMDR therapists find that following the protocol strictly can sometimes feel disconnected from what is actually happening in the room. We focus on the visual tracks or tactile buzzers, but we can easily miss the subtle physical shifts that tell us a client is starting to drift or flood.

Come join us for a great discussion on “Somatic EMDR: Bringing the Body More Fully Into the 8 Phases” with Alison Leslie, a specialized trauma therapist, SEP, and EMDR Consultant. This session will provide a comprehensive overview of how to integrate Somatic Therapy and EMDR to bring greater curiosity, embodiment, and nervous system awareness into your practice.

Throughout the session, Alison will guide you on how to track the client’s physical experience and seamlessly interweave somatic skills such as pendulation, orienting, and invitational language throughout the standard 8-phase EMDR process. If you are ready to look beyond the manual and bring real somatic awareness into your sessions, you can join us here.🙂🗓️
