About the webinar
Guest Presenter, Megan Salar
This 1-hour EMDR webinar introduces *Restricted Processing* as a practical, trauma-informed way to safely work with highly activated, complex, or dissociative clients when standard EMDR feels “too much, too fast.” Participants will learn how to titrate exposure, contain material, and maintain dual awareness without abandoning EMDR altogether. Through brief didactic teaching and clinical examples, we’ll explore when to use restricted processing, how to structure sessions, and how to pace targeting so clients experience *relief and success rather than overwhelm or shutdown.*
Learning Objectives:
- Identify when Restricted Processing is appropriate to enhance safety and stability during EMDR sessions.
- Apply practical strategies to titrate exposure, contain material, and maintain dual awareness with complex clients.
- Structure EMDR sessions that promote client relief and integration while minimizing overwhelm or shutdown.
Agenda:
