Somatic EMDR Tools for Attachment Trauma


Somatic EMDR Tools for Attachment Trauma - Somatic EMDR Workshop - Maiberger Institute - Arielle Schwartz

This two-day Somatic EMDR Workshop — created by Barb Maiberger and Dr. Arielle Schwartz, authors of “EMDR Therapy and Somatic Psychology: Interventions to Enhance Embodiment” — is designed to help EMDR therapists learn an integrative approach in working with Attachment trauma. Therapists learning EMDR therapy are not trained to work with attachment trauma in their initial training and the impact it has on the body and mind. Clients who experience preverbal memories can feel overwhelmed which can shut down reprocessing through dissociation and a disconnect from the body. Learning how to work with preverbal memories by incorporating somatic skills is an essential for all EMDR therapists who want to help their clients heal at a profound core level. Without effective treatment, attachment trauma can be passed onto the next generation. This work can help clients broaden their capacity to have healthy interpersonal relationships that can be fostered in the world. 

In this workshop you will transform your practice immediately by:

  • Learning how to resource clients who struggle to stay connected to their bodies to prepare for trauma reprocessing.
  • Deepening your ability to recognize preverbal memories and how to successfully work with them using somatic interventions.
  • Working with ego states through body awareness and interventions to effectively use EMDR therapy to transform early attachment trauma.
  • Regulating dissociation using sensory or movement interventions to stabilize the client for effective reprocessing.

“As a clinician, this workshop has allowed me to expand the healing power of the standard EMDR protocol and more fully embrace the art of EMDR therapy. More importantly, it has provided a framework for the deep wounds of clients, to be acknowledged, tended to and ultimately move toward healing and integration. In this workshop, Barb and Arielle synthesize years of clinical experience with the most up-to-date advancements in attachment theory, neuroscience, somatic awareness and EMDR. Their relatable and accessible style make for an enjoyable but deep learning experience.”Amy Annesley, LCSW
