Dealing with Avoidance in EMDR Therapy: Blocking beliefs, Defenses, and Getting Unstuck

This workshop will explore client and clinician avoidance in EMDR therapy. Targeting
blocking beliefs and defenses with EMDR will be taught, using Jim Knipe’s EMDR Toolbox
procedures. Clinician avoidance will be addressed through practice sessions with partners in the
training to deepen the learning of procedures to use with clients.
Workshop will begin with focus on importance of attunement and therapeutic
relationship. Affect strengthening exercises and healthy containment skills will be taught.
Blocking beliefs will be explored using Jim Knipe’s Blocking Beliefs Questionnaire. Detailed
descriptions of common defenses used by clients will be discussed. Specific skills and exercises
will be taught to help the clinician target blocking beliefs and defenses in their clinical sessions.
Practice sessions will be in pairs as clinicians work on their own avoidance, blocks, and
defenses.

*Please note, you must have completed a full EMDRIA-Approved EMDR Basic Training to attend this advanced workshop
