Course Overview
This intermediate specialty training integrates EMDR into grief counseling in each of the eight phases of EMDR therapy. Grief is a universal experience, yet clinicians often receive little training in addressing it. In this training, Krista Helman illuminates the EMDR-GRIEF protocol, an approach integrating EMDR to address grief-related trauma, attachment injuries, past and ongoing losses, and After-Death Communication (ADC). The training explores the roots of grief and how EMDR can support meaning-making and healing within the grieving process, so participants gain a deep understanding of the protocol and are equipped to apply it in clinical practice.
The EMDR-GRIEF protocol adapts the eight-phase EMDR model to address the complexities of mourning and grief, emphasizing the reconstruction of the assumptive world. Rooted in the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model, this protocol emphasizes how positive memories serve as the bridge to grief integration. By addressing the pain of grief and other blocks to accessing adaptive information, EMDR-GRIEF helps remap the internal representation of the loss in space, time, and attachment, supporting a renewed sense of connection and orientation.
A defining feature of EMDR-GRIEF is its integration of potential After-Death Communication (ADC) within the Enrichment phase, normalizing and embracing this natural human experience. This component strengthens the protocol's ability to address the existential and relational dimensions of loss.
