Developing resources in EMDR Therapy Preparation Phase

[@CGHappyGillmore]

I like the idea of the aura and extending the resources (symbolic, mastery, relational) in the RDI script. Thank you for your simplicity!

Thanks great video, useful for my complex patients. Could you give a reference that I can read for development resources in EMDR

[@MichaelPatersonOBE]

Jim Knipe 'EMDR Toolbox' is excellent. Another good book is Van der Hart, Boon, & Steele 'Coping With Trauma Related Dissociation'.

Would you use bls with the resourcing, and if not, why? Thx

[@MichaelPatersonOBE]

Resourcing is something we do in Phase 2, and we do use BLS. The thing to remember that in Phase 2 we do slower, shorter sets of BLS - 8-10 passes is sufficient. The faster, longer sets are reserved for Phases 4-6, the reprocessing phases. BLS can be activating, therefore by controlling the speed, and length of set in Phase 2, we can pick up if our client links to maladaptively stored material when we are trying to install a resource.

Ego state therapy. This can be used in Phase 2 Stabilization/Preparation for clients with more complex presentations.
