This workshop centres on integrating the family system into EMDR practice, with a strong focus on supporting caregivers to understand and respond to the impact of early relational trauma.

Key Takeaways:

  • Support caregivers to interpret behaviour through a trauma and attachment lens

  • Work safely with dissociation and protective parts across the family system

  • Build caregiver capacity for co-regulation, attunement, and repair

  • Integrate caregivers into EMDR as essential partners in the healing process

  • Use non-verbal, play-based, and creative approaches to access implicit trauma

  • Apply EMDR within a systemic, family-focused framework
