Project Description
The processing body - integrating EMDR and Body Psychotherapy: The paper presents a model for integrating EMDR with Body Psychotherapy principles and techniques. The model will be illustrated by clinical material from work with a patient who suffers from complex PTSD as a result of a recent traumatic event which evoked her early developmental trauma.Based on a shared understanding of the body as the carrier of trauma and its symptoms, Body psychotherapy and EMDR offer different and complementary ways of utilising the body during the processing phase of the work. Drawing also on recent neuro-biological research, the paper will explore some of the similarities and differences of the two approaches. It also offers insight into the work of some of the leading experts in the field of Body Psychotherapy and their approaches to trauma work.
