Prerequisite:
Registrants for IFS-Informed EMDR must have completed EMDR basic training and have familiarity with the IFS model either through workshop or retreat experience.
This workshop does not provide training in either model. It assumes participants have knowledge of both. Reading IFS doesn't quite do it sometimes. There is a process aspect to it, and experiential, video, or demo exposure gets that across in a way that reading does not. If you do not meet this requirement, use the time before the workshop to meet the IFS prerequisite.
My experience has shown that participants with minimal IFS experience struggle to integrate the material. If you haven't already begun to use IFS principles in your practice, you will not optimally benefit from the workshop.
Take IFS for EMDR Therapists to satisfy the IFS prerequisite.

Description
This online workshop presents a specific view of ego states in the context of EMDR therapy & proposes additional practical scales besides SUD & VOC for measuring their properties, as well as elaborating useful ways of obtaining target elements in the assessment phase, by superimposing IFS concepts upon the standard protocol.
If you are like many other EMDR practitioners, you have found yourself at times struggling with ego states, resistance, overwhelm, and difficulties establishing target states & maintaining effective dual attention. Francine Shapiro understood this early on when she supplemented the Standard Protocol with the Cognitive Interweave. Many others have since suggested various other interweaves and supplementary or alternative protocols, as well as Resource Development and Installation (RDI).
Internal Family Systems, a systemic ego state model, when superimposed on the EMDR process provides an illuminating map of the process and can serve as a guide in selecting appropriate interweaves or interventions at critical points throughout the EMDR standard protocol.
Participants will learn that functional Dual Attention requires Self-Presence and the co-presence or activation of a Target Part in relationship to the Self. This workshop promotes the understanding that many problems commonly encountered in EMDR can be averted by recognizing this principle, and applying simple practices taught here.
While adhering to the standard definition of EMDR, the workshop compares IFS concepts to those used in EMDR and provides additional perspective to the IFS-trained EMDR therapist with regard to the appearance of ego states, defenses, and relational phenomena, especially as they transpire in the course of phases 3 and 4.
These methods will be demonstrated via actual session clips and guided individual experiential exercises. Learn to integrate these two models in creative new ways, enhanced by some Coherence Therapy concepts derived from Memory Reconsolidation research.
Learning Objectives
1. Participants can identify one advantageous aspect of the IFS concept of Self that is not explicitly included in EMDR’s Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) system.
2. Participants can explain the relationship between Functional Dual Attention and Self-Presence.
3. Participants can describe the concept of energy as it applies to Protective Parts and how this can be measured and processed within EMDR.
4. Participants can describe the concept of energy as it applies to qualities of Self and how these can be measured and installed as a resource within EMDR.
5. Participants can identify at least one way that IFS language can used in obtaining a NC, PC or VOC.
6. Participants can compile an IFS-Informed Assessment Phase target.
7. Participants can describe shifting targets from exile to protector, using IFS-Informed scales in Desensitization Phase.
8. Participants can describe & practice at least 3 IFS Interweaves in Desensitization Phase.
9. Participants can identify a third type of processing (beside resources and desensitization) with bilateral stimulation named after a stage of Coherence Therapy.
10. Participants can describe and practice obtaining precise negative cognitions in the Assessment Phase using Coherence Therapy concepts.
11. Participants can discuss their relationship with their parts-as-therapist based on the IFS model.
