Robin Shapiro:
Easy Ego State Interventions
Robin Shapiro's "Easy Ego State Interventions" training is a deep dive into a new way to formulate and respond to your clients. Robin will share an abundance of practical interventions and strategies that will inevitably strengthen and change the way you work in clinical practice.
Participants will learn to see clients through the lens of Ego State Therapy and EMDR and to distinguish healthy, flexible states from dissociative ones. They will learn to resolve trauma, work with couples, work with sexual issues with abuse survivors, address shame, pain, personality disorders and dissociative identity disorder - through lecture, practice and discussion of case examples. The training is appropriate for both EMDR and non-EMDR practitioners.
