The EMDR Approach: Uncovering Root Traumas in Therapy Using AIP

An exploration of the EMDR Approach, a transformative therapy method that utilises the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model to unearth and address the underlying traumas driving clinical presentations.
In this video we delve into the intricacies of case conceptualisation through the lens of trauma. This video is not just about understanding the presenting issues; it's about recognising that these difficulties are often manifestations of deeper, unresolved trauma.
Join us as we look at the AIP model, an integral part of the EMDR methodology, which aids clinicians in viewing a client’s issues from a trauma-informed perspective. By employing this model, therapists can identify 'touchstone memories' (Shapiro) - pivotal, unprocessed memories that are crucial targets for EMDR therapy.
We also discuss Dr. Francine Shapiro's 8-phase, 3-prong protocol, a cornerstone of EMDR therapy. This protocol is not just a treatment method but a comprehensive approach to history-taking, identifying past problems, and addressing them effectively to alleviate present difficulties.
This video is an essential resource for mental health professionals, EMDR practitioners, and students seeking to deepen their understanding of trauma-focused therapy. Whether you're new to EMDR or looking to enhance your existing skills, this video offers valuable insights into using the AIP model for more effective therapeutic outcomes.
