About the webinar
Join Dr. Jennifer Sweeton to explore how EMDR can be adapted for children in this practical
webinar. Learn which young clients benefit most—those with re-experiencing symptoms and
motivation for exposure work—while understanding when EMDR may not be suitable, such as
for those who can’t attend to their experiences mindfully. Dr. Sweeton will share modifications
like using play-based BLS (e.g., tapping or drumming) instead of eye movements, and
simplifying language for phases like Target Sequence Planning. Discover how to involve
caregivers in resourcing and closure, ensuring safety and stability for young clients. This session
provides actionable strategies to make EMDR accessible and effective for children, enhancing
your trauma treatment toolkit for younger populations.
