Course Description

"Effective case conceptualization is essential to successful EMDR therapy, yet clinicians often struggle to pinpoint the root causes of treatment challenges, client dysregulation, and stalled reprocessing. Without a structured approach, therapy may progress too quickly, leading to autonomic overwhelm, or too cautiously, preventing meaningful trauma resolution.

This workshop presents the 7 P’s of Case Conceptualization, a nervous system-informed framework that integrates polyvagal theory, the window of tolerance model, and Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) principles. By assessing both cognitive and autonomic nervous system factors, this approach helps clinicians address EMDR readiness, adjust pacing, and troubleshoot treatment barriers.

Through interactive case applications and guided discussion, participants will learn to apply the 7 P’s to describe, evaluate, and refine case conceptualizations, ultimately enhancing clinical effectiveness, improving EMDR outcomes, and navigating complex treatment challenges. "
