EMDR Treatment Planning: Target Selection and Sequencing
2 CE Credits
Intermediate Level
Target Audience: Psychologists
$20 for Course
About the Course
This pre-recorded webinar is available on demand and is designed to assist psychologists who practice EMDR with one of the most misunderstood parts of treatment planning, target selection and sequencing. Inadequate target selection and sequencing can negatively impact treatment outcomes, particularly by delaying symptom reduction and increasing treatment dropout. Via didactic presentation, attendees will review the most recent research regarding EMDR enabling psychologists provide appropriate informed consent and better meet the needs of their clients. While "three pronged approach" in EMDR assists in an outline of treatment planning, the selection for target sequencing is more nuanced and at times may require revision. Attendees will learn several approaches for target sequencing, including: timeline sequencing, two method approach, the strategic developmental model, symptom informed model among others. Attendees will review a vignette with common symptoms and walk through the creation of a target sequencing plan, allowing them to then design their own target sequencing plans for their clients. Course must be attended in it’s entirety, partial credit is not awarded.
