EMDR Power Hour: Working with Shame and the Loving Eyes Protocol

This EMDR Power Hour is a live webinar for EMDR therapists.

Shame is one of the most common and difficult emotions clients struggle with, it can block processing and keep clients stuck. Some clients who have experienced complex trauma feel intense shame towards their younger self. The standard protocol is not always enough when we work with such deep-rooted shame.

In this Power Hour, we'll cover the ways that shame blocks processing and how to adjust your EMDR.

You’ll learn how to use Jim Knipe’s Loving Eyes Protocol to address the shame that is felt towards the younger self. There will be a live demonstration and you will leave with practical steps you can start using straight away in your sessions.

• You work with clients who feel overwhelmed by shame or self-criticism.
• You sometimes find processing stalls when shame is present.
