The Myth of Attachment Trauma with Shirley Jean Schmidt

Do you know the critical difference between attachment wounding and trauma wounding?

We invite you to join the EMDR Learning Community for an enlightening presentation titled “The Myth of Attachment Trauma” with Shirley Jean Schmidt. While many therapists categorize attachment wounding as a form of trauma, this session will challenge that perspective by drawing clear distinctions between the two and introducing the Developmental Needs Meeting Strategy (DNMS) for healing attachment wounds. You will discover how utilizing these structured needs-meeting interventions during EMDR Phase 2 can resolve dissociation and provide the foundational stability necessary to prepare attachment-wounded clients for safe, effective trauma processing in Phases 3-7.

Don’t miss this opportunity to expand your clinical toolkit and understand why EMDR cannot simply ‘restore’ stability in clients who are foundationally unstable. 🗓️
