Compassion-Focused EMDR
Overview
This paper explores integrating compassion-focused therapy with EMDR to address shame, self-criticism, and attachment trauma that may hinder standard processing. It outlines how a compassionate focus can help therapists facilitate a warm relationship with clients' problems, particularly when dealing with dissociation or structural self-impacts. The resource provides clinical examples and tables to illustrate the language and process for clinicians.
