About the Course
Since the inception of the original training, research and collective learning around Neurodiversity Affirming Therapy have flourished. This has led to the birth of a vibrant Facebook group for ND Affirming EMDR, which now boasts over 3K members. The use of EMDR has also evolved, moving away from the original ableist approaches to a more comprehensive understanding that trauma can be experienced by clients due to the misinterpretation of their neurotype. Through this training, you will be at the forefront of these exciting developments, learning about the latest uses of EMDR with neurodivergent clients. And find out about the next two trainings that are coming after!
In this advanced version of the first training, which adheres to a Neurodiversity Affirming paradigm, you will receive an understanding of:
* PDA (Persistent Demand for Autonomy),
*Neurodivergent Masking
*Autistic Burnout
*How Trauma Presents for All Three
*ND Affirming Cognitive Interweaves
*Common ND Blocking Beliefs
*Use of Parts Work to Support ND Clients
*Case Conceptualizations to Practice New Skills Together
*Useful Handouts to Bring into the Therapy Room
and so much more!
