EMDR and Adlerian Play Therapy: Bringing Phased Approaches Together

    Presenter: Marshall Lyles, MA, LPC-S, LMFT-S, RPT-S, EMDRIA Approved Consultant

    Description:
    Many play therapists leave EMDR basic training excited about possessing these important, new skills, but quickly feel overwhelmed at the idea of discovering how to integrate the model with their play therapy cases. This 12-CE workshop will highlight the relevant neuroscience informing EMDR and play therapy before walking through each of EMDR’s eight phases with a proposed integration with the phases and approaches of Adlerian Play Therapy. It is recommended that participants be fully trained in EMDR, but partial training may be acceptable if the participant is to complete basic training in a timely manner.

    December 2-3, 2022

    Objectives:
    The participant will be able to:
    1. Identify the basic tenets of EMDR and how it is applied to play therapy
    2. Discuss the intersection of Adlerian Play Therapy and EMDR’S AIP model
    3. Discuss key concepts from relational neuroscience shared by both Adlerian Play Therapy and EMDR clinical work
    4. Apply Adlerian Play Therapy techniques to EMDR history taking
    5. Evaluate the timing of EMDR resourcing in play therapy treatment planning
    6. Process methods for executing different EMDR preparation and resourcing skills using play therapy
