Increasing numbers of CAT therapists are also training in EMDR and exploring how the two approaches can be integrated.  This session is aimed at those who are trained in or interested in EMDR and have started thinking about how to use it within a “CAT envelope.”

We will cover:

CAT & EMDR – Theoretical Perspectives

  1. The CAT theory of personality development, with a focus on Trauma Induced Dissociation, and how this maps on to more general theories around Structural Dissociation emerging in neuroscience literature. 
  2. Discussion about embodied trauma and trauma-derived reciprocal roles (particularly Self to Self), and the processes of ‘change/healing’ in CAT.
  3. We will explore how EMDR and the AIP model, can contribute to formulation and specific CAT work.

CAT & EMDR – Practical Considerations

  1. Targeting trauma driven symptoms and procedures, even if not full PTSD.
  2. Processing the traumatic memories underlying reciprocal roles which feel stuck.
  3. EMDR as a great way of installing positive resources, and creating the felt experience of healthier reciprocal roles, even if no trauma work is possible.

Learning Outcomes

A chance to think through the theoretical similarities and differences between the CAT model and the EMDR model and have a clearer idea of how they can work together.
