Deep dives
Importance of EMDR as an Approach to Therapy
EMDR is not just about reprocessing trauma, but also about the therapeutic relationship, understanding the eight-phase protocol, and using interventions for broader healing.
Concept of Somatic Attachment Psychotherapy (SAP)
SAP helps therapists make sense of what's happening in therapy sessions and clients' stories. It integrates attachment and neurodevelopment, somatic psychology, and adaptive information and processing.
Using Multiple Lenses in Case Conceptualization
By combining different theories and perspectives, such as attachment, neurodevelopment, somatic psychology, and adaptive information and processing, therapists can gain a clearer understanding of clients' experiences and make more accurate decisions.
Working with the Body in Therapy
In therapy, it is important to pay attention to the body and its sensations. Engaging with the body can lead to deeper healing and integration of experiences. Asking open-ended questions and using curiosity can help explore and understand the body's messages.
Emphasizing Inner Subjectivity and the Therapeutic Relationship
The therapist-client relationship is crucial in therapy. Emphasizing inner subjectivity, the therapist's humanness, and creating a safe space for clients to share their experiences can lead to healing relational wounds and promote change.
Listen in to hear Jen and Melissa present to a small group on the basics of Somatic Integration and Processing (SIP). SIP is an interpersonal neurobiology based conceptualization tool that uses psychodynamic neurodevelopmental theory, adaptive information processing (AIP) and memory reconsolidation, and nervous system informed somatic psychology to assist clinicians in their ability to understand, interpret, and utilize diagnostic bio/psycho/social/cultural information about their clients. Tools presented within SIP I help to illustrate this diagnostic information in a structurally concentric scaffolded framework that can be used for tracking session goals and therapeutic targets, maneuvering through any processing issues through understanding their psychodynamic origins, and it can even be used to track an entire therapeutic process from start to finish.
