OVERVIEW
Move beyond healing trauma to an awakening of consciousness as the therapist becomes a powerful tool for transformation!
Join expert Dr. Irene R. Siegel as she explores how to seamlessly bridge Western psychotherapy with ancient healing wisdom in your EMDR practice. Throughout this presentation, she explains how therapist preparation and deep meditative centeredness allow practitioners to hold a shared vibrational field, profoundly accelerating client healing.
You will learn how to apply these concepts across the eight phases of EMDR, including how to invite a client’s “higher self” to act as an internal co-therapist during Phase 2 resourcing, how holding this energetic presence makes Phase 4 reprocessing feel like “EMDR on steroids”, and why you should continue the installation phase even after reaching a VOC of 7 to encourage deeper transformation.
Topics Covered:
- Transpersonal EMDR
- Understanding the Shared Vibrational Field
- What is Transpersonal Psychology
- Therapists as Vibrational Tools for Healing
- Phase Two: Internal Resources and Spirituality
- Exploring Internal Guides and Animal Allies
- Phase Three: Trauma Perception and Healing
- Phase 4 Considerations: Healing Trauma and Awakening Consciousness
- Ancient Wisdom and Modern Upheaval
