Description

EMDR, parts work, and somatic therapy are three of the most popular approaches right now…

With 30 years’ experience teaching clinicians like you, a premier expert in EMDR, somatic and parts work therapy, Sandra Paulsen, PhD, will guide you through the steps to enhance EMDR by integrating these powerful approaches.

From Sandra’s step-by-step teaching style, you’ll gain the skills to modify and customize EMDR at any stage of treatment, for any type of client trauma. You’ll be able to target your client’s trauma whether it’s stored in the body, memories or present. Walk away with skills and techniques to:

  • Do somatic work with clients that frees their body from trapped pain
  • Integrate parts work to resolve childhood trauma and other internal conflicts
