1 Vi har den stora glädjen att inbjuda till höstens studiedagar med Föreningen EMDR Sverige 7-8 oktober 2016 med Sandra Paulsen Språk: Engelska Program Registrering Lunch på Piperska muren Program Lunch Plats: Piperska Muren, Scheelegatan 14, Stockholm Med t-bana: blå linje till Rådhuset. Piperska muren ligger mellan uppgångarna, men enklast är att ta uppgång vid Bergsgatan. Ta sikte på Rådhuset och gå till framsidan, så är det rakt över gatan. Med buss: linje 40 eller 56 till Rådhuset/Scheelegatan. Bussen stannar vid parkeringen framför huset. Eller linje 3 till Kungsholmstorg. Promenad: Från Centralen är det ca 10 minuters promenad.

3 Program Description This workshop addresses some of the most difficult challenges of using EMDR with individuals with affect dysregulation, somatic distress and attachment injuries from early trauma and neglect. The methods efficiently empower clients with resources for containment, safety, and increased affect tolerance; and systematically target and reprocess early disturbance for which there may be no explicit memories. Although the workshop primarily addresses adolescents and adults, it also describes its use with infants and children. Abstract The challenges of using EMDR for early trauma and neglect include: EMDR readily targets explicit memories, but early trauma is held in implicit memory in the right hemisphere and is not typically subject to direct recall. Accessing the felt sense of early experience can be overwhelming if it evokes the paucity of internal resources of a neglected baby. This workshop addresses both problems by careful preparation and systematic trauma reprocessing for implicit memories and early templates. The preparation includes 1) containment, 2) safe state, and 3) resetting innate emotional resources, which appears to directly act upon primary process subcortical affective circuits to downregulate the experience of emotional intensity. Done correctly, it avoids evoking the felt sense of the emotions so they can subsequently be reprocessed without flooding. After the three preparation steps, the method systematically reprocesses early trauma in the absence of explicit memory. It targets consecutive time periods beginning before birth, and installs positive reparative experience. As a result, the client builds a new foundation of a felt sense of attachment and belonging, with emergent positive cognitions, enabling the client to meet the next developmental milestones in sequence.

4 Objectives Program Description Attendees will be able to: 1) Identify challenges to applying EMDR to early developmental trauma. 1) Prepare the client for early trauma processing with clientfriendly education. 2) Efficiently re-install innate affective resources without accessing disturbing material. 4) Systematically target early disturbance held in implicit memory. 5) Use imaginal and experiential interweaves to stimulate blocked processing and ensure reprocessing is complete.

EMDRIA Presentations The presentation in brief was presented at EMDRIA in 2007 by O Shea and Paulsen (1/2 day instead of 2 day, without practicum, little video). It has been presented at two European EMDR conferences and been presented in two book chapters in R. Shapiro s EMDR Solutions II by Norton Books. Paulsen has presented on pieces of it almost annually at EMDRIA and ISSTD since Program Abstract OBJECTIVES TOPIC AREA METHOD 1. Identify challenges of applying EMDR to early developmental trauma. Review relevant theory from affective neuroscience (e.g., Panksepp, Schore), attachment (Bowlby, Main, Barach), dissociation (Paulsen, Fine & Berkowitz) References Visual aids 2. Prepare the client for early trauma processing with client-friendly education Review client handouts designed to educate clients about emotions, development, and fight/flight/freeze to prepare clients for early trauma processing

5 3. Efficiently re-install innate resources without accessing disturbing material. 4. Systematically target early disturbance held in implicit memory. 5. Use imaginative interweaves and imaginal installation to stimulate blocked processing and ensure reprocessing is complete. Instruct in procedures for containment, safe state and reinstalling of innate emotional resources (clearing affective circuits). Instruct regarding targeting without explicit memories by systematically targeting time frames, capturing NC and PC information as it is revealed. Instruct regarding resolving looping with imaginal interweaves when client cannot spontaneously link to adaptive neural networks, reference to neuroscience of imagination, imaginal installations to ensure client has felt sense of having needs met s Visual Method Developer Katie O Shea, MS and Sandra Paulsen PhD
