Integrating EMDR Therapy and ACT Skills: Over 12 Strategies to Unlock the Full Potential of Your Complex Trauma Treatment

If you use EMDR therapy with clients, you probably can’t imagine treatment without it.

But many times, our complex clients need additional skills to cope with the process itself so they can fully benefit from their therapeutic journey.

Fortunately, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can provide those skills!

By using ACT skills in your EMDR sessions, you can help even your toughest clients better approach difficult material, remain engaged in the process, re-work coping skills, and reduce the self-judgement that can halt progress.

You’ll watch Certified EMDR therapist Tara Travia, PhD, as she gives you a step-by-step guide to using ACT skills in EMDR therapy – complete with a flexible set of skills, interweaves and resourcing techniques – so you can make trauma resolution gentler and more focused on behavior-change outside of sessions.

When you watch Dr. Travia you’ll discover how you can:

  • Enhance your confidence with complex trauma cases
  • Develop client histories that seamlessly guide them through all 8 phases
  • Harness the power of interweaves to deepen therapeutic impact
  • Pave the way for smoother healing by reducing self-judgement and dysregulation
  • More easily craft negative and positive cognitions with the client
  • And much more!

Don’t miss this opportunity to unlock the full power of EMDR therapy for your clients and yourself.

Dr. Fatter will give you a step-by-step guide to using non-pathologizing relational interventions from IFS therapy at each phase of EMDR, so you can provide trauma treatment that meets clients where they’re at and skillfully attends to the unique needs of each client’s internal parts.

Join Dr. Fatter so you can:

  • Identify and resolve inner conflicts hindering your clients’ healing processes
