Welcome back for another episode of the Future Template Parent Podcast! In today's episode, we revisit a popular clinical episode from the podcast archives - understanding Dissociation, A Guide for EMDR Intensive Therapists.  I break down what dissociation really is, why it’s not an automatic rule-out for EMDR, and how to confidently support dissociative clients in intensive therapy.

Topics covered:

• What is dissociation and how does it impact EMDR therapy. 
• How dissociation was presented in basic training — and why it doesn’t automatically block EMDR work.
• Strategies to build your skills in working with dissociative clients.
• How EMDR intensives can be especially effective for dissociative clients.
• Techniques to safely and effectively support dissociative clients during intensive sessions.
