Attachment-Informed EMDR Interweaves – £42 inc VAT.

Now with 2.5 EMDRIA CE points

Building on the basic eight-phase structure of standard EMDR and the six key principles of ai-EMDR (Charlie Chaplin Recognises That Attachments aRe Seriously Salient), you’ll know how much in EMDR depends on identifying the most appropriate and powerful targets in Phase 3 that take therapy – beyond trauma – into a client’s deepest formative past.

And then, in Phase Four, it’s creative interweaves together with session structure that are ultimately the tools that deliver the goods, especially but not only with more complex clients.

In the recording of this live webinar, held on Friday February 21, 2025 with a small audience of fellow ai-EMDR enthusiasts (both seasoned and new), Mark Brayne illustrates these principles with a comprehensive and interactive presentation of ideas.

The recording includes questions, exercises (which work in the recording too) and discussion of how the ai-EMDR toolkit of rich and varied interweaves (well beyond the cognitive) can actually work in practice as therapy explores more profound challenges of attachment-informed, integrative, transpersonal EMDR.

Note also that, this being recorded, you’ll not be able personally to do the two breakout slots of 10 and then 15 minutes where colleagues went into triads to share their personal experiences of and responses to these ideas.

Questions arising in the groups are however discussed in plenary, and the Zoom recording includes access to the stimulating discussions and questions in the chat.

The workshop recording now has 2.5 EMDRIA points, and you’ll get the certificate in exchange for feedback and a quiz.

Interweaves Webinar – Aims and Objectives

  • Understand the Role of Interweaves in EMDR Phase Four: with foundational understanding of interweaves as therapeutic tools within EMDR, particularly in the desensitisation/reprocessing phase, to ensure effective trauma resolution.
  • Develop Skills in Attuned and Relational Interweaving: techniques to use relational interweaves intuitively, allowing for appropriate non-verbal and verbal responses that enhance client safety and therapeutic connection.
  • Differentiate Between Various Types of Interweaves: identify and apply different types of interweaves (e.g., curiosity/inquiry, video, sorting, and containing interweaves) according to client needs and the nature of their stuck points during reprocessing.
  • Explore the Impact of Attachment and Early Experiences: recognize how attachment history and formative experiences affect current trauma responses, and how to use interweaves to address these underlying dynamics.
  • Practice Safe and Effective Use of Rescue and Repair Interweaves: especially toward the end of sessions, to ensure the client’s younger ego states are not left in distressing or unresolved scenarios.
  • Empower Therapists to Manage Challenging Scenarios: confidently use imaginative and assertive interweaves (e.g., the “WTF interweave”) proactively to alter and empower the client’s narrative in a safe therapeutic setting.
