- Explore innovative approaches to managing therapeutic challenges such as client avoidance, emotional overwhelm, and therapeutic blocks during trauma processing [5][8].
- Understand the role of bilateral stimulation in facilitating memory integration and emotional regulation without prolonged exposure to traumatic content [10].
