A workshop by Sandra Paulsen, Ph.D.
I am pleased to announce that Dr Sandra Paulsen is coming back to Toronto. She is the most interesting EMDR presenter I have heard in recent years.
The challenges of using EMDR for early trauma and neglect are that a) EMDR readily targets explicit memories, but early trauma is held in implicit memory in the right hemisphere (Siegel, Schore) and is not typically subject to direct recall, and b) accessing the felt sense of early experience can be overwhelming if it includes the paucity of internal resources of a neglected baby.
This workshop addresses both problems by careful preparation and systematic trauma reprocessing. The preparation includes 1) containment, 2) safe state, and 3) resetting innate emotional resources, which appears to directly act upon primary process affective circuits (Panksepp, 2009) to down-regulate the experience of emotional intensity. After the three preparation steps, the method systematically reprocesses early trauma, in the absence of explicit memory. The method targets consecutive time periods beginning before birth, and installs positive experience imaginally. As a result, the client builds a foundation of a felt sense of attachment and belonging, with emergent positive cognitions, enabling the client to meet the next developmental milestone in sequence. This process meets the requirements laid out for a therapeutic reparation of early trauma by Fosha. The procedures were developed by Katie O’Shea as an outgrowth of Sandra Paulsen’s work treating ego states with EMDR. The two have collaborated on these methods since 2006.
Workshop Objectives:
Attendees will be able to:
11) Identify challenges to applying EMDR to early developmental trauma;
22) Prepare the client for early trauma processing with client-friendly education;
33) Efficiently re-install innate affective resources without accessing disturbing material;
44) Systematically target early disturbance held in implicit memory; and
5 5) Use imaginal & experiential interweaves to stimulate blocked processing & ensure reprocessing is complete.
"Dr. Sandra Paulsen was the first clinician to identify the need to pre-test for dissociative disorders in candidates for EMDR therapy. Her continued investigations in this area are a contribution to all practicing clinicians." Francine Shapiro, PhD, Originator of EMDR
"Dr. Sandra Paulsen has made significant contributions to the development of a comprehensive EMDR treatment of dissociative clients. She writes and presents in a manner both accessible and scholarly. I highly recommend her workshops." Carol Forgash, CSW, Senior Facilitator, EMDR Institute, EMDRIA Approved Consultant
