Relational Integrative EMDR

Did You Know? Expanding My Trauma Therapy Offerings with Relational Integrative EMDR.

Did you know that as part of my trauma therapy offerings, I am now certified by Seva House Training in Relational Integrative EMDR (RI-EMDR)? This innovative approach not only helps in processing trauma but also emphasizes the importance of the therapeutic relationship. I'm excited to share with you how this method can facilitate deeper, more personalized healing and contribute to lasting emotional well-being.

What is Relational Integrative EMDR?

Relational Integrative EMDR is a powerful therapeutic approach combining the proven effectiveness of attachment-informed EMDR with the depths of parts work, neuroscience, the brain-mind-body connection, and mindfulness-based practices. This compassionate, transpersonal, and spiritual approach honors relational attachments and ruptures, ultimately helping clients heal from past wounds, improve current relationships, and build healthier attachments in the future.

The Power of Imaginative Repair

A unique and transformative aspect of this approach is the concept of imaginative repair. It gives a person a profound opportunity to revisit the past, where their younger selves can be heard, witnessed, and validated. Through this process, the adult self experiences imaginative repair, leading to a sense of choice, freedom and a profound shift in perspective. This serves as a catalyst for transformative change.

Key Features of Relational Integrative EMDR

1. Integration of Relationship dynamics: A focus on therapeutic relationships, addressing relational patterns within the healing process.

2. Holistic Personalisation of Therapy: Treatment is tailored to each person's individual needs, respecting their unique history and emotional landscape. 

3. Empowerment and Collaboration: Clients are encouraged to actively participate in their healing journey, fostering empowerment and collaborative growth.

My Journey in Training

During my Level 1 training, I gained a foundational understanding of integrating EMDR with relational methodologies:
