Description:
Join Jackie Flynn in "EMDR with Children: Integrating Play Therapy Applications of Polyvagal Theory Across the 8 Phases, Prioritizing Safety, Connection, and Fidelity" This advanced EMDR training will show you how to infuse applications of the Polyvagal Theory into every phase of EMDR therapy with children, creating a safe and connected healing experience.
In Phase 1, we'll embark on a playful adventure to explore the child's world, discovering traumatic stress from experiences with the body, relationships, and their environment, as well as their current resources.
Then, in Phase 2, we'll learn creative techniques to help children manage their emotions naturally. We'll also explore ways to support families and caregivers throughout the process.
Phase 3 is where the real excitement begins! We'll set sail on an epic quest to choose and set up targets while honoring the child's developing nervous system.
Get ready to unleash the power of movement and nature in Phase 4, as we dance, wiggle, and play our way through the desensitization process.
Going beyond words alone, Phase 5 will take us deeper into the transformative power of playful strategies, ensuring the embodiment of positive cognitions for long-lasting transformation. But that's not all!
Phase 6 will take us on a fascinating adventure, exploring the hidden mysteries of the body and the autonomic nervous system with a kid-friendly body scan, uncovering the general and hybrid states of the nervous system.
As we approach the final stages, Phase 7 will bring regulation and relief as we conclude each session with playful reciprocity. Children and therapists alike will feel energized and ready to venture into the world!
And in Phase 8, we'll circle back and map out the next steps based on the current state of the previous target, ensuring continued progress and growth on our incredible healing adventure.
All our playful techniques are deeply rooted in EMDR's Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model, providing a sturdy foundation of early experiences and resources for integrating the polyvagal theory into EMDR therapy with children.
Don't miss this advanced training on how to offer the healing power of EMDR therapy to your young clients! Join us on this enchanting and playful journey to unlock the magical pathways to healing with EMDR and polyvagal theory. Adventure awaits!
