Developing a Test for Trauma Clients Who Cannot Tolerate EMDR
The test was developed for trauma clients who couldn't tolerate EMDR and sensory motor psychotherapy. It aims to help clients notice parts instead of body experiences, as it may be less scary and easier for them to manage. The approach integrates the Structural Dissociation Model, assuming that dissociative fragmentation is neurologically based and that people develop parts driven by survival responses such as fight, flight, fear, submission, and cry for help. The test model introduces the concept of parts driven by different survival responses and challenges previous diagnoses.
