Discover an integrative approach to improve treatment outcomes for a growing population of clients living with trauma and complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD). Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and internal family systems (IFS) are each highly effective, evidence-based modalities for treating trauma. However, when used independently, each has limitations. EMDR therapists often encounter obstacles during the reprocessing phase due to the structured nature of the EMDR protocol, while IFS can be time-intensive, typically addressing only one "part" at a time--which can be challenging when multiple parts are impacted by trauma. Treating Trauma with EMDR and IFS is a practical, step-by-step guide to blending EMDR with IFS for effective trauma and CPTSD treatment. You'll start by understanding the value of an integrated model and how EMDR and IFS complement each other. You'll also learn essential skills to assess each client accurately, support their unique healing processes, and integrate IFS methods into each phase of the EMDR protocol. Most importantly, this approach will empower clients to find freedom from the impact of trauma, actively engage in their recovery, and ultimately lead more fulfilling lives. If you're looking for a structured yet adaptable framework to serve clients with trauma and CPTSD more effectively, this book provides a practical integration of EMDR and IFS that will enhance your treatment outcomes and help clients thrive.
