Presented by Jeffrey Gianelli, LCSW
2 CE Credits
Last day to register: Friday, June 6, 2025
A review of the Internal Family Systems (IFS) Parts Informed Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Protocol developed by Jeffrey Gianelli and Ashley Swinson. This presentation will provide an overview of the standard 8 Phase protocol of EMDR and an overview of parts work (ego states, IFS) and will demonstrate how parts work can be incorporated into EMDR. It is appropriate both for those warning to learn more about EMDR/ Parts work in general and for those already practicing EMDR who want to develop skills to incorporate Parts work into their practice. This workshop is not intended to be a substitute for EMDR basic training, which is highly recommended before attempting to use EMDR as a modality. Some skills that come from EMDR such as Phase 2 resourcing are safe to use without having completed basic training provided the clinician fully understands and feels comfortable using them.
