ABSTRACT:
Participants will learn how stories and EMDR help clients organize their mental models, scripts or schemas of themselves and the world. Using a story to facilitate EMDR processing helps manage the client's affect because we know that while stories might become emotionally intense (like EMDR), there is a resolution to them. The steps to writing a story and the structure of a story will be outlined and examples provided. Instructions on how to process the story with EMDR will be given, along with the opportunity for participants to practice writing a story and process it. Additional therapeutic modalities and their integration with story-writing and EMDR will be discussed, along with an outline of the process through the 8 phases of EMDR.
