“This workshop, presented in a likely, often humorous way, brings ego state theory to life for those who work with couples. Barry’s is one of a handful of essential voices out there for describing the power and importance of EMDR and ego state therapy.” Carol Forgash, LCSW

The Marriage of EMDR and Ego State Theory in Couples Therapy​

Presented by: Barry Litt, MFT
November 18-19, 2016 | Phoenix, AZ
This workshop will focus on the treatment of challenging couples who often present with poor interpersonal boundaries, mutual and sometimes hostile dependency, and reliance on blame and projection. Ego state conflict is common in one or both partners. Such conflict can dominate relational patterns even in clients without a trauma history. By augmenting EMDR with the explanatory power and clinical inventiveness of ego state theory, couples therapy can be brought to new levels of efficacy.
  • Day 1: Participants will learn about the relational nature of the Self and the challenges of differentiation, and intergenerational family dynamics that contribute to ego fragmentation, as well as manifestations of ego state conflict (tertiary dissociation) in couples therapy.
  • Day 2: participants will learn to assess the interlocking of negative cognitions in client couples,to implement strategies to contract for individually-focusedEMDR, describe the risks and benefits of conjoint EMDR, as well as learn a model of EMDR treatment planning that describes target selection and salience. Also taught will be a progression of techniques to control and focus desensitization within the optimal zone of arousal. Hope you can join us!
This is an advanced seminar for clinicians with FULL completion of EMDRIA-approved BasicTraining (required).

ABOUT THE PRESENTER

He has since integrated that model with EMDR and has been practicing in that framework since the 1990’s. He is an EMDR-Approved Consultant and AAMFT-approved supervisor.  He is a regular presenter at ISST-D and EMDR conferences, and has authored chapters on Contextual Therapy and EMDR as well as Ego State Theory in Couples Therapy.  His professional activities have included in-home therapy, consultation and training for Headstart, and investigating misconduct complaints for the NH Board of Examiners.

“Barry Litt is a thoughtful, innovative, a funny (enthusiastic, spirited, energetic) teacher and clinician who brings the dynamics and challenges of couples therapy to life for his workshop participants. He is solidly grounded in theory, yet very precise and practical in helping practitioners navigate the rocky waters of couples therapy. He skillfully integrates the concepts of ego state therapy with a sophisticated understanding of the EMDR Adaptive Information Processing Model.”   Deborah Korn, PhD
