- Gladney University welcomes Hillary Owen, LCSW, EMDRIA Approved Consultant, TF-CBT Certified, TBRI Practitioner. Presentation Deck: gladney.co/EMDRGU.
Description:
Research continues to highlight the impact of early childhood abuse and neglect on overall health and functioning in adulthood. Attachment Theory helps us understand ways we learn as young children to adapt to our caregivers' ability to meet our needs. While those adaptive responses are critical to survival and minimize distress while we are young, those very behaviors and symptoms often become the source of great distress in later years.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is considered one of the leading therapeutic treatment protocols for alleviating symptoms of trauma and PTSD. In this training, participants will gain an understanding of EMDR, how it works from a scientific perspective, and how it is facilitated in session with clients of all ages. In addition, this training will address the differences between trauma, complex trauma, and attachment trauma, and how advanced EMDR approaches provide deep and lasting relief.
Speaker:
Since 2005, Hillary Owen, LCSW, EMDRIA Approved Consultant, TBRI Practitioner, has dedicated her career to serving children, adolescents, and families. She spent over 15 years working in the nonprofit world, including training at the Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center providing trauma-informed, evidence-based therapy to children and abuse. Hillary later served as the Clinical Program Manager at New Friends New Life, supervising a team of therapists and overseeing all counseling and case management services for women and children who have been sexually exploited or trafficked.
Hillary founded her private practice Driftwood Healing in 2021, where she specializes in working with children, adults, and families on healing from and navigating the impact of trauma and childhood attachment wounds. Hillary has extensive training in treating PTSD and attachment trauma, as well as other common co-occurring symptoms including anxiety, depression, dissociation and dissociative disorders, and other behavioral and personality disorders. Hillary’s style is heavily focused on establishing a trusting relationship with warmth and care, and using a strengths-based, directive approach to empower her clients to harness what has happened and experience the fullness of healing.
Hillary and her husband have two biological children, are foster parents, and are active in their advocacy for foster children and adoptees. Hillary is an enneagram 2 and practices self-care by doing DIY projects, knitting, painting, and hosting dinner parties.

This was a very informative explanation for EMDR, thank you! I have recently been assigned with a therapist who is EMDR certified for the purpose of using this modality for my complex PTSD after having gone through a year long, weekly talk therapy with my therapist. I am hopeful while also apprehensive about beginning this treatment. I suffered a lot of violence, including rape multiple times (incest) as a child, most of my life seemed like I was a magnet for abuse and traumas.
I'm sure I have some type of disordered attachment style since my birth mother was woefully neglectful. She would leave me alone in my crib as an infant to hang out at the bar all day, before she abandoned us when I was somewhere between 2-4 months old. Less than 12 years ago, enough clues led me to believe, which was confirmed 4 years ago that she had bipolar. Unfortunately, my daughter was also stricken with bipolar in 2012 shortly after having her son. On a good note, she is doing amazing and I could not be more proud of her.
Before therapy, I was numb to my emotions, and most of my life stuffing my anger, not knowing the importance of allowing my emotions to flow with acceptance and compassion. Therapy turned my emotions on (grief/tears) and permission to be angry when appropriate.
I remember way back when, hypnotists used to swing a weight on a chain at eye level and get the subject to follow it with their eyes back and forth.
Somehow, this helped to put the subject into a suggestive trance.
How did they know to do this way back then?
Can you link a video of someone doing the attachment focused resourcing with a client or a mock determination?
Thank you for your clear presentation. It's one of the best I've seen!
You must not have experienced or seen very much if you seriously thought this presentation was great.
This is really good and I’m trained in emdr
Learning and understanding how human behavior actually works will do you more justice than this hogwash crap
Can you do emdr while walking and moving your eyes back and forth (left & right)?
I got really emotional when walking the other day and wondered if I could use that intense emotion to heal and reshape the memory.
Yes! This is actually how the founder of EMDR discovered EMDR. She was on a hike and realized that she it helped.
sinking feeling now as a client. I don't want to base something on lies. How can I heal on lies? Also can you do EMDR with a therapist who you have ended up experiencing a very painful attachment wound with?

In your example of the soccer player injuring his ankle, he owned the right to freedom choice, yet chose to not only continue the current game, but autocratically and repeatedly chose to keep playing further games in the future, even though he continued to accuire additional damage each time he elected to keep playing.
I must agree to disagree with presenting this situation as an example of Complex-PTSD.
One of the Hallmark features of C-PTSD is that a person, mostly a child, suffers abuse at the hand of another for a long period of time, months and usually years. They feel trapped and helpless and will often resort to disassociation from abuse where they are robbed of their freedom of choice and in the end, have no voice. The example of the soccer player couldn't be further away from the kinds of situations that ultimately leave the victim unable to even identify the ensuing aftermath of being toxicly controlled by someone they initially felt safe with, ultimately not even being able to identify what the heck is wrong, why they hate themselves, or want to commit suicide. It takes decades simply to understand, "Oh! This is guilt and shame I've been feeling." and even then, without the correct help, they probably won't ever be able to pinpoint where all of these emotions are coming from. They'll never recognize that they get triggered. They'll get angry, run away, or freeze, and won't be able to think.
I respect your opinion and work, but I can't agree with that illustration being an example of COMPLEX-PTSD.
Respectfully,
Karen
That wasn't the point though. The soccer player is not an example of Cptsd, it's a metaphor: she took the ankle injury as a metaphor for psychological trauma and repeated reinjury as a metaphor for complex trauma. The child does suffer abuse at the hand of another, the point is that the abuse is not a single event, but rather a set of ongoing events that keep happening before the child has had time to process any of them.
Wrong!!!!!!! This ten years thing is utterly bullshit. I have C-PTSD and have suffered the effects for the whole of my life, I had a terrible break up. This caused me to have a really bad breakdown. I was determined to find out why I was like this. I did a lot of deep meditation, some psychoactive substance and a lot of "sitting in and with my emotions". Prior to this I had many mental health interventions and treatments like CBT and other talking therapies. I have, in about 2 months of located and processed all my childhood and subsequent trauma. I am well on the road to full recovery. For the first time in life ving memory I felt happy with myself and am getting better every day. If you want to sit and talk to someone in the hope it will "fix" you then you are fooling yourself.
Don't get me wrong it's really hard, emotional and painful but if you want to do it this does not have to take years and years
She’s so cute!
Quote: "Neurons that fire together..." does not belong to Rick Hansen. Rick himself quotes Mr Hebb. This is such a fundamental omission that made validity of this video material very very questionable to me.
I agree along with some other points I discredit
