In addition\, Ana Gomez is an EMDRIA approved consultant\; an EMDRIA advanced training provider\, an EMDR Institute\, EMDR-IBA and E MDR-HAP trainer. Furthermore\, Ana has received training in Sensorimotor P sychotherapy\, Play Therapy\, Sandtray Therapy\, Theraplay\, Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB)\, and the use of the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI) . She has worked with children\, adolescents\, adults and families affect ed by trauma and adversity for almost 20 years. \n\n Ana will be presentin g three separate days of training\, as follows : \n\n Day 1 (May 8th\, 201 9) : The World of Stories and Symbols - An Introduction to the EMDR Sandtr ay Protocol \n\n Day 2 (May 9th\, 2019) : Intergenerational Trauma - An A ttachment Based EMDR Program to Work With Children and their Parents. \n\n Day 3 (May 10th\, 2019) : Working with Complex Trauma\, Dissociation and Failures of Integration in Children and Adolescents using EMDR Therapy \n\ n 6 EMDR UK &\; Ireland CPD points will be awarded in relation to each separate day of training. \n\n Workshop content outlines are as follows : \n\n Day 1 (May 8th\, 2019) : The World of Stories and Symbols - An Introd uction to the EMDR Sandtray Protocol \n\n This is an innovative training t hat presents an introduction to the EMDR-Sandtray protocol developed by An a Gomez. This training covers an overview of the eight phases of EMDR ther apy with children and adolescents and the use of the EMDR Sandtray Protoco l. This is especially useful for children that present with dysregulation of the affective system and require greater distance from the traumatic ma terial. In addition\, children that use a number of mechanism of adaptatio n such as avoidance can highly benefit from using this protocol. The EMDR- Sandtray protocol offers various levels of distance from the traumatic mat erial: The actual memory of trauma where the self is present in the story\ , to the general story/world where the self is absent. \n\n One of the won derful assets of the EMDR-Sandtray Protocol is its capacity to access impl icit and right hemisphere material through the use of stories\, symbols an d archetypes. \nIt is not necessary to have the formal training in Sandtra y therapy as this protocol has its own procedures and principles rooted wi thin the AIP model. \n\n Aims / Learning Outcomes: \n\n This work will en able clinicians to work with children This work will enable clinicians to work with children that do not acknowledge or do not want to talk about th e traumatic or adverse events. For example\, \n\n \n Children in the chil d protective system \n Children living in unpredictable and chaotic envir onments \n Children with parents that are not able to provide appropriat e support \n Children with attachment injuries and unmet attachment need s \n Children that use avoidance as a mechanism of adaptation \n Childre n that become dysregulated or dissociative when trauma memories are brough t up or activated \n Children that despite going through a lengthy prepar ation phase cannot tolerate the accessing of traumatic material. \n \n\n O bjectives: \n\n Clinicians will learn - \n\n \n Case conceptualization s kills to use with children and adolescents with complex clinical presentat ions that may require greater level of distance from the traumatic materia l. \n Basic Sandtray therapy procedures such as how to set up the sand t ray\, miniature collection etc. \n To set the various levels of distance offered by the EMDR-Sandtray protocol. \n How to develop resources duri ng preparation phase using the sand tray including: \n To set up the ass essment phase honouring the various levels of distance. \n To use interw eaves within the EMDR-Sandtray Protocol such as: \n Interweaves directed to meet attachment needs \n Interweaves directed to modulate arousal \n Interweaves directed to complete defence responses \n To playfully do the installation phase and body scan using the EMDR-Sandtray Protocol. \n \n\n Videos and lots of pictures of therapeutic work will be presented to give workshop attendees a very tangible and concrete experience. Formal t raining in Sandplay or Sandtray therapy is not required. \n\n Day 2 (May 9th\, 2019) : Intergenerational Trauma - An Attachment Based EMDR Program to Work With Children and their Parents. \n\n Clinicians will learn how to work with dismissing\, preoccupied and unresolved states of mind througho ut the eight phases with parents. In addition\, you will learn how to help parents develop attunement so the capacity to “hold the child’s mind in mind” (Fonagy) can be promoted. Case conceptualization strategies and Preparation tools that include protocols to enhance the parent’s capaci ty for differentiation and boundary awareness\, as well as linkage and con nection\, will be addressed. The use of videos to promote the development of attunement and the capacity of the parent to synchronize to the child ’s internal states will be studied. \n\n In addition\, the use of Thera play strategies and the installation of dyadic-regulated states (Gomez) wi th the child and the parent will be demonstrated. Moreover\, how to resour ce the "parent's younger self" and "the child's little self" will be cover ed. A wide range of interventions and interweaves will be presented. These strategies are used with the purpose of assisting parents in assimilating and integrating thwarted attachment experiences that currently inhibit th e parent's ability to respond contingently and synchronically to the child ’s needs and inhibits the child's capacity to connect and attach securel y. Dyadic sessions will be presented and demonstrated as well. This progra m will present a model and a program where a combination of group and indi vidual EMDR therapy may be used. When the parent and the family dynamics a re wounding agents\, EMDR therapy needs to be used systemically and interg enerationally. \n\n Aims / Learning Outcomes: \n\n In this workshop\, clin icians will learn to work with adults (parents) and children using attachm ent-informed EMDR therapy. How to use the eight phases with parents and ch ildren to heal intergenerational trauma will be addressed. You will learn an original model developed by Ana Gomez to work with parents and childre n that include four different levels of parental involvement: \n\n \n Leve l 1: Psychoeducation \n Level 2 : Emotion regulation and Mentalization wor k \n Level 3 : Processing \n Level 4 : Dyadic work. \n \n\n Day 3 (May 10 th\, 2019) : Working with Complex Trauma\, Dissociation and Failures of In tegration in Children and Adolescents using EMDR Therapy \n\n The treatmen t of chronically traumatized youngsters raise significant challenges for c linicians due to the compartmentalization\, splitting\, failures of integr ation\, internal conflicts\, and trauma related phobias they display. This presentation will provide an overview of the models and theories that add ress the etiology and development of dissociation in children. \n\n Treatm ent strategies that will aid clinicians in working with children and adole scents with complex trauma and structural dissociation will be covered. In addition\, it will offer a number of “entry strategies” for accessing the internal system of children presenting with severe dissociation. How to work with "dissociative parts" within the EMDR eight-phase model will b e also addressed. \n\n Standard procedural steps only offer one “entry w ay” into the memories of trauma. This presentation will address multiple “memory entry strategies” to access traumatic material such as pendul ation\, peritraumatic resources and more. In addition\, two protocols dire cted to layer the memory will be presented. Overall this workshop will be dedicated to children and adolescents presenting with failures of integrat ion\, fragmentation and diagnosis such as DID or OSDD. \n LAST-MODIFIED:20190509T073800 LOCATION:Quaker Meeting House\, 7 Victoria Terrace\, Edinburgh EH1 2JL ORGANIZER:mailto:emdrcasds@gmail.com SUMMARY:Ana Gomez - Edinburgh - 2019 URL;VALUE=URI:https://ti.to/C.H.I.L.D./ana-gomez-edinburgh2019 URL;VALUE=URI:https://ti.to/C.H.I.L.D./ana-gomez-edinburgh2019 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
