Thematic Client History in EMDR Therapy: Live on Zoom

Thematic Client History in EMDR Therapy: Enhancing Your Clinical Effectiveness with Complex Trauma

Dr Jamie Marich - Monday 24th March 2025 8am – 12.30pm

Description

Dr. Francine Shapiro, the founder of EMDR Therapy, indicated that there are many ways to conduct Phase 1 Client History. For clients who experiences complex trauma and clinically significant dissociation, engaging in a history taking process that is too chronological or too list-oriented might be overwhelming or impractical. In this workshop, Dr. Jamie Marich brings in her experience as a phenomenological researcher to assist EMDR therapists in thinking more thematically. Thematic thinking begins in Phase 1 Client History, which is the focus of the workshop, and it can also expanding to more complex trauma-focused case conceptualization in the other phases of EMDR Therapy. Participants are oriented to the phenomenological principles of theme. They will then learn how to conduct a client history thematically for optimally target selection and case conceptualization, with opportunities for practice and discussion.

Objectives

After this workshop participants will be able:

To explain the principles of phenomenology and its connection to the word theme and the term lived experience
To list and critically evaluate three major approaches in the EMDR Therapy community other than thematic client history for conducting Phase 1 Client History
To conceptualize a client case in the EMDR approach to psychotherapy using the thematic client history approach
To select targets for EMDR Therapy reprocessing and develop an ideal “order of operations” in a client-centered manner
