Increasing numbers of CAT therapists are also training in EMDR and other models that more explicitly incorporate theories from Neurobiology. This session is aimed at those who are interested in exploring this further, or who are trained in or interested in EMDR or other somatically informed modalities and have started thinking about how to use these within their CAT practice.

We will cover:

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 CAT can incorporate other paradigms such as EMDR’s AIP model and what this may look like in practice.

4) How to work ‘relationally’ and remain ‘embodied’.

5) Targeting trauma driven symptoms and procedures, and Processing the traumatic memories underlying Reciprocal roles which feel stuck…

6) Explore ways of installing positive resources, and creating the felt experience of healthier reciprocal roles, even if no trauma work is possible.


Using the integration of CAT & EMDR as a main example, we will have the opportunity to think through the theoretical similarities and differences between different models and develop a clearer idea of how they can work together.

No experience in or training in EMDR needed.
