DAY 1 – Powerful EMDR techniques within EMDR therapy: EMD bomb, Flash 1.0, Flashforward and Mental Video Check – Program Description:
In this workshop, Ad de Jongh and Suzy Matthijssen explain how clinicians can use special EMDR techniques which can be applied to treat patients with a variety of mental health conditions, including Complex PTSD. They will show how to deal with the ingrained avoidance patterns of patients who are too afraid and avoidant to get started with trauma-focused therapy. Through extensive – and step-by-step – demonstrations the presenters will illustrate the application of these EMDR 2.0 consistent (i.e., including deliberate taxation of working memory) techniques – as well as various titration techniques designed to help patients manage the affect associated with EMDR procedures to help patients to continue effective reprocessing. For those who are unfamiliar with EMDR 2.0, a short explanation will be given on the fundamental aspects of 2.0. Additionally, this workshop will teach, with examples, the use of the Flashforward technique which addresses anticipatory anxiety. The effectiveness and versatility of the Flashforward technique has been strongly scientifically substantiated. In this workshop you will learn how to use the Flashforward technique in combination with the Mental Video Check, another technique, which is used as an indispensable method in the treatment of anxiety disorders with EMDR therapy. You will also learn how to use the Flashforward technique with patients who are inclined to dissociate such as those with complex PTSD or borderline personality disorder features. All techniques can be used in both “on-site” and virtual therapy and the “how to’s” for each will be discussed.

DAY 2 – Efficient Methods for EMDR Therapy: Case Conceptualization and Strategic Target Selection – Program Description:
A key component of case conceptualization is determining priorities for which target memories to reprocess. Too often EMDR clinicians fail to think strategically and consistently about target selection, rely heavily on clients to know what to target, or are just unaware of targeting options. Yet, there are a variety of proven targeting strategies that create efficient “routes” for adaptive memory reprocessing and bring optimal relief of clinical symptoms.
This training will guide EMDR clinicians to determine which target selection is most fitting for each client at any moment in time. These different types of case conceptualizations have been tested in the presenters’ clinical work and through scientific research. They include the (1) “Timeline route” for most mental health symptoms, such as sleeping problems, or feeling depressed, the (2)“Intrusion route” for trauma-related conditions, such as PTSD, the (3) “Floatback route”, for difficult emotions or bodily symptoms, the method EMDR therapists are probably most familiar with, (4) the “Belief route” for cases where irrational and negative core cognitions, about the person themselves, are central, (5) the “Emotion route” for when strong emotions such as guilt and anger are in the foreground, and the (6) “Flashforward route”, for anticipatory fear and anxiety disorders.
Participants will be taught how to carry out case conceptualization and develop different targeting plans. By practicing with the material in groups within Zoom, participants will acquire the competences and master the material to become more effective in applying EMDR therapy.

DAY 3 – Treating Complex PTSD and Dissociation – Program Description:
From a clinical point of view, there are a number of challenges when treating patients with Complex PTSD. These include client fears in confronting their memories and emotions, the possibility of severe abreactions, dissociative reactions that may limit access to trauma memories, the possibility that SUD levels do not decline, and that cognitive distortions (e.g. guilt) do not shift. In addition, other issues that are consistent with Complex PTSD (e.g., regarding negative self-concept, emotional dysregulation and difficulties in relationships) often need concurrent clinical work.
Scientific research and the clinical experiences of the presenters and their staff with almost 6000 patients who received intensive immediate trauma-focused treatment for severe PTSD in their treatment clinics have contributed to the development of a wide array of powerful treatment strategies for individuals with Complex PTSD.
The purpose of this engaging workshop is to teach participants effective clinical approaches and treatment techniques to deal with individuals with Complex PTSD features, including dissociation. The training will be illustrated by various case presentations and multiple video segments of treatment sessions with a wide range of individuals suffering from Complex PTSD Some techniques will be demonstrated live and participants will be given opportunities and guidance to practice with the new material.
