Practical Skills
Practical Interventions You'll Learn
This course gives you hands-on instruction in ego state interventions designed to integrate seamlessly across all eight phases of EMDR. Each technique is taught with a clear clinical rationale and immediate application to complex trauma presentations.
- Ego state assessment and screening tools to identify clinically significant dissociation and recognize key symptoms, characteristics, and presentations of maladaptive ego states early in treatment.
- Distinguishing adaptive from maladaptive ego states, including how to identify and work with common parts such as protective, critical, and belligerent ego states without pathologizing them.
- The Inner Sanctuary technique, a Rebecca Kase original, focused on building inner safety, support, and communication between parts during Phase 2 stabilization.
- Fraser's Dissociative Table, a foundational ego state intervention for accessing, organizing, and working with multiple parts in a structured, client-paced way.
- The Resource Room and Inner Council techniques for resourcing allies, time-orienting parts, and applying depth psychotherapy wisdom to EMDR preparation work.
- Ego state-informed treatment planning, including how to identify reprocessing targets based on patterns exhibited by maladaptive ego states across the client's history.
- Ego state-inspired interweaves for the reprocessing phases to support movement when parts get stuck, defended, or dysregulated during Phases 3-7.
- Tucking In for closure, a parts-aware closure technique that supports incomplete sessions and helps clients leave session feeling contained and resourced.
- Phase 8 integration and re-evaluation strategies, including how to track integration progress and align ongoing treatment with client goals through a humanistic, client-centered lens.
