Neuromodulation for EMDR: Defense Mechanisms

How do you prepare for successful EMDR therapy, or even general psychotherapy, when client defense mechanisms have taken over?

Through the lens of popular trauma models, including Polyvagal Theory, you will learn auricular neuromodulation techniques to restore regulation. Avoid the possible risks otherwise associated with beginning EMDR — or possibly even talk therapy — with clients who do not have sufficient dual attention. Use auricular neuromodulation to shift them into the window of tolerance.

Whether dealing with client resistance to therapy, lacking dual attention, or something more severe such as dissociation, neuro-auricular modulation via the ear allows the therapist to bypass cognitive pre-frontal cortex involvement.

Learn to dynamically read the current and specific neural states of clients — disturbances in the limbic system, imbalances between hemispheres, hidden emotions and more — all using reflex zones on the ear.
