This EMDR Power Hour is a live webinar for EMDR therapists and will focus on target planning when clients present with complex histories. Learn how to identify clusters and choose target memories. Also, master the float-back technique that can help you uncover touchstone and feeder memories.
Complex cases can feel overwhelming without a clear roadmap, both for you as a therapist and for your client. In this Power Hour, you’ll learn practical strategies for effective target planning so you can bring structure and direction to your EMDR work and more easily make links between current difficulties and past experiences.
This Power Hour will also cover the Float-back Technique, a powerful way to uncover core memories that keep clients stuck. You’ll leave with a clearer framework and practical tools to guide your work with confidence.
This Power Hour will include a live demonstration/ role play, if there is a willing volunteer. Otherwise, Rachel will present a case study.
