Memory is a key component of working with grief and trauma.
However, we too often focus strictly on verbal memories. Many circumstances can
limit a client's ability or willingness to work with verbal memories. In these
cases, we must expand our understanding of memory and how to work with
it. In this workshop, we will take a deep dive into other types of memory
informed by best practices such as EMDR, mindfulness, and grief counseling. We
will also examine case studies to gain a real-world understanding of the
populations that will benefit from alternate approaches. You will leave with a
fuller understanding of what memories can be and ways to incorporate that
knowledge into practice. The content will be heavily focused on incorporating concepts
into practice with EMDR.
Objectives:
1, Define types of nonverbal memory.
2. Identify populations that benefit from focusing on nonverbal
memory.
3. Learn strategies to incorporate nonverbal memory into
treatment.
