Explore eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) with bilateral stimulation to reprocess traumatic memories, reduce distress, and strengthen positive beliefs through eight phases.
Identify trauma in children as overpowering incidents that disrupt functioning, including abuse, neglect, disasters, or caregiver stress, and emphasize a trauma-informed approach with secure support and appropriate therapy.
Master the eight-phase EMDR framework, from history taking and preparation to desensitization, installation, and reevaluation, using bilateral stimulation and safety techniques like safe place and butterfly hug.
Identify the traumatic incident to start processing memories; therapists use verbal and nonverbal methods: play, puppet, sand play, and sketching to identify triggers and involve parents at the child's pace.
Explore how desensitization in CC-EMDR processes traumatic memories through bilateral stimulation, resource development and installation, grounding, trigger assessment, and parent collaboration to support safe, child-centered therapy.
Explore RTI in CC-EMDR by identifying positive memories, fostering positive self-talk, and teaching coping strategies, while building self-esteem and collaborating with parents across tailored, ongoing sessions.
Facilitate a secure, grounded closure by reviewing the session, reassuring the child, teaching grounding techniques, planning the next session with parents, and following up to monitor progress.
CC-EMDR re-evaluation measures progress, tweaks therapy, and coordinates with psychiatrists, psychologists, and social workers. The process includes regular follow-ups and parental involvement to support long-term well-being beyond sessions.
Build rapport and trust with the child in EMDR through active listening, summarizing their words, empathic support, and age-appropriate language, while using play to create a safe, welcoming environment.
Explain EMDR therapy to children in age-appropriate terms using simple language, analogies, visuals, and play-based tools to address concerns and assess understanding over time.
Develop cultural sensitivity and diversity-informed treatment by understanding cultural values and beliefs, communicating effectively to support the therapeutic alliance, and collaborating with families and providers.
Engage parents in evaluation, goal setting, and treatment planning to tailor child-centered EMDR for each family. Provide psychoeducation, feedback, and homework assignments and exercises to strengthen the therapeutic alliance.
Therapists address ongoing trauma-related issues in children with follow-up sessions, trigger identification, resilience-building, relapse monitoring, re-evaluation, and ongoing collaboration with caregivers and other service providers for continued support.
