How can you develop a thorough case conceptualization in EMDR therapy and select the right memories to target - so that you truly make a difference in your patient’s treatment?

In previous webinars, Suzy Matthijssen and Ad de Jongh focused on smart strategies and techniques within EMDR therapy. This time, they will present six practical routes for case conceptualization, designed to help therapists identify the most suitable target memories with clarity and confidence.

The six routes are:

1. The Intrusion Route – for trauma-related conditions such as PTSD.
   
   
2. The Timeline Route – for mental health symptoms like sleeping problems or depression.
   
   
3. The Core Belief Route – for cases centered around irrational or negative self-cognitions, such as personality disorders or a negative self-image.
   
   
4. The Emotion Route – for when strong emotions like guilt or anger are dominant.
   
   
5. The Flashforward Route – for treating fears and phobias.
   
   
6. The Floatback Route – for uncovering the origin of problematic emotions, beliefs, or symptoms.

Through instructional videos and practical case examples, participants will be guided step by step through these strategies, enabling them to get to the core of the problem, make the right treatment choices, and achieve greater success in applying EMDR therapy.

The webinar is intended for therapists who have completed the EMDR Basic Training.
