Program Description:
This workshop will teach practical strategies within the EMDR therapy treatment approach for clients presenting with problematic anger, hostility, and a range of related behaviors across a spectrum of severity. Relevant client issues include temper outbursts; an array of chronic or occasional hostile interactions with others such as verbal aggression, abusive behaviors including intimate partner abuse, marital hostility, post-divorce co-parenting animosity, angry parenting, bullying, self-directed anger, angry teens; road rage and low frustration tolerance, self-righteous anger, revenge obsessions, and ideologically based hostility and prejudice.
The Cycle Model for Treating Problem Behaviors offers a comprehensive framework for engaging clients in assessing and prioritizing treatment strategies to transform problematic beliefs, feelings, and behaviors. This workshop will describe an array of protocols, tools and strategies that address short and long-term goals; target selection strategies; ways to enhance client engagement and motivation; topic-related stabilization and preparation techniques; ways to transform abusive power and controlling behaviors; strategic skill building, and a protocol for addressing hostile attitudes.
Violent behavior is often a trauma reenactment, yet there are many clinical considerations including the safety of others in determining when, how and if to reprocess early trauma. Clients often need to be skillfully held accountable for present time risk factors without jeopardizing the therapeutic relationship. The workshop will describe further applications of the Cycle Model in the treatment of other problem behaviors including behavioral addictions and trauma driven “acting out”.
EMDR treatment has a remarkable capacity to go beyond the limits of common psychotherapeutic approaches to problematic anger and behaviors. With focused strategies that do not lose sight of the whole person, EMDR intervention offers realistic hope for true behavioral and personal change. This workshop will include multiple case examples and ready to use handouts scripts and other materials.
