AIP, Family Systems, Developmental & Attachment Theory Integrations with EMDR Interventions

With Kenya Rocha

Abstract


This training explores how early attachment wounds, generational trauma, and maladaptive family dynamics contribute to emotional distress and dysfunction. Using the eight-phase EMDR model, participants will learn how to identify, process, and reframe negative beliefs rooted in childhood experiences. Through a combination of lecture, case studies, and experiential exercises, clinicians will gain practical tools to conceptualize, recognize and treat family patterns that cause childhood wounds.
