Description
Accelerated trauma processing and client dissociation can be a risky pairing if the clinician is unprepared. This advanced course details exactly what changes in EMDR 2.0 when working with complex and dissociative presentations. We will cover how to screen for and monitor dissociative processes, titrating trauma network activation rather than maximizing it, and establishing the robust stabilization floor that this method requires.
Crucially, participants will learn how to navigate parts-aware processing when protective parts are present and in disagreement. Special attention is given to the unique failure modes of taxation with complex clients—specifically how added cognitive load can trigger detachment rather than dual attention—and how to detect and reverse these responses in real time.

Objectives:
This training will provide participants clinical knowledge and tools to:
After completing this training, participants will be able to screen for dissociative process before introducing accelerated or taxed processing, and name the findings that contraindicate it.
After completing this training, participants will be able to titrate trauma network activation through target selection, container work, and load reduction.
After completing this training, participants will be able to distinguish dual attention from dissociative detachment during a taxed set and intervene accordingly.
After completing this training, participants will be able to adapt EMDR 2.0 procedures for parts-aware processing, including consent and sequencing across parts.
After completing this training, participants will be able to specify the stabilization and resourcing conditions that must be met before resuming taxed processing.
