A parts-informed approach to trauma reprocessing — for clinicians who hold both the structure of EMDR and the internal system of protectors, exiles, and Self.
Clients with PTSD and Complex PTSD carry both discrete traumatic memories and entrenched protective and exiled parts formed by chronic relational trauma. EMDR gives clinicians a structured method for reprocessing traumatic memory networks; IFS gives them a map of the internal system — protectors, exiles, and Self — that so often complicates that work.
Clinicians trained in only one model tend to hit the same wall from opposite sides. EMDR-only practitioners can be caught off guard by destabilization, dissociation, or protector activation mid-reprocessing. IFS-only practitioners often lack a structured protocol for direct memory work. A growing body of clinical practice — and precedent among EMDRIA- and IFSI-approved providers — supports integrating the two, particularly for CPTSD, where a parts-informed approach to preparation and processing improves both safety and outcomes.
Licensed mental health clinicians — RCCs, RSWs, LCSWs, LMFTs, LPCs, psychologists, and clinical counsellors — who have completed EMDR Basic Training and have a basic knowledge of IFS terminology around parts.
EMDR Basic Training completion is required before attending. Handouts, case conceptualization worksheets, and a reference bibliography are provided
Dr. Misic brings over 20 years of clinical practice specializing in the treatment of complex trauma and dissociative disorders. She holds dual certification in both modalities at the highest consultant level — a rare combination that grounds this workshop in lived clinical expertise rather than theory alone.
Her approach is shaped by two decades of direct work with clients navigating PTSD, Complex PTSD, and dissociation, and by years spent supervising and consulting with other clinicians integrating these models into their own practices.
EMDR Basic Training completion is required before attending. Handouts, case conceptualization worksheets, and a reference bibliography are provided. A post-workshop evaluation is required to receive your certificate of completion.
