Integrating Jungian Dream Strategies with EMDR Therapy - Cancelled
Integrating Jungian Dream Strategies with EMDR Therapy
From some deep center of reality, a dreamer within speaks to us. This reality knows everything about us, has wisdom greater than ours, and provides these nightly dramas for our transformation. These dramas tell us who we are, where we have been, where we have strayed from the path, how we can get back on the path and where our destiny would lead us. (Kelsey, 1986 p. xxxv in Bosco).
Francine Shapiro encouraged integration of other models with EMDR therapy. She stated, “Integrating models with EMDR causes profound psychological change...Read more.” (Shapiro, 2018, p. 52).
This course has two primary purposes: first to bring the Jungian influence within EMDR to light and second, to honor Shapiro’s encouragement of integrating EMDR therapy with other models, in this case the Jungian model’s aspect of dream work. This course integrates both EMDR therapy and Jungian Psychology creating a powerful synergistic understanding of the magnificent of the human psyche.
An optional, purpose is to invite the training therapists to do their own internal personal exploration. This course offers the trainee an opportunity to have a deeper awareness and understanding of their own process of individuation. The trainee is invited to exploring their own dreams and the impact their negative cognition(s) is having on their life.
The method used for dream analysis is structured and scientific. Once a better understanding of the dream occurs then there will be an integration of the dream material with the EMDR model. This enhances both models expanding material for EMDR therapist to consider.
It is of the highest importance to learn that there are things in our minds which are not of our own making. –C. G. Jung Less...
Learning Objectives
- Compare the similarities and differences in the treatment of dreams and nightmares within the context of each model (Jungian Psychology and EMDR therapy) while understanding more recent scientific studies that support dream work as a valuable therapeutic intervention.
- Utilize the three-part dream structure for our examination of a dream or nightmare.
- Identify the various the types of dreams to determine which dreams are relevant and which dreams can be ignored, including more recent scientific studies that examine the vividness and frequency of nightmares after a traumatic experience.
- Identify and utilize the various components of the dream through the process of dream amplification and being made aware of the scientific evidence that shows the therapeutic benefit of this process.
- Utilize the five-step dream interpretation process to develop an accurate interpretation of the dream(s).
- Develop an EMDR protocol from problematic dream material thus expanding material that the EMDR therapist can choose to process.
