Debbie will be presening a session titled "Developmental Repair with Adult Survivors of Childhood Abuse and Neglect" at the upcoming EMDRIA Summit 2025 where EMDR therapists can gain valuable education with 17 sessions to choose from and earn up to 41.5 CEU's. There will be sessions in both English and Spanish. The EMDRIA Virtual Summit is an opportunity to connect with EMDR therapists from different locations and intersection of identities. The Summit provides continuing education for EMDR therapists at any stage of their career. It is an event to learn in community about different EMDR topics to meet the challenges of today's world. 

Watch a preview from Debbie about the course!

Debbie will be returning to teach EMDR Therapy and the Treatment of Complex PTSD in Adult Survivors of Childhood Abuse and Neglect, an immersive course offered both in-person and live-online. This 15-hour week-long CE course will begin by examining the impact of early neglect, abuse, and attachment disruption on the development, functioning, and identity of the individual. It will continue through various clinical “maps” to guide assessment, case conceptualization, and treatment planning. The range of dissociative presentations associated with complex and prolonged trauma will be reviewed and  the kinds of phobias and ego state conflicts that require attention early in treatment will be highlighted. The remainder of the course will be spent addressing strategies for dealing with clients' defenses (fears and blocking beliefs, protective parts, associated avoidance) and exploring different types of interweaves, each with their own functions and goals.  We'll also discuss how and when to integrate other treatment models (e.g. IFS, AEDP, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy) and newer EMDR protocols into your work (e.g. EMDR 2.0, Flash Technique, Blind2Therapist, Flash Forward).
