Applying the Offense Drivers Model to EMDR Therapy with Sex Offenders presented by Dominique Barritt-McBride MA LMHC NCC CST:

Originally presented by Ronald J. Ricci and Cheryl A. Clayton at the EMDRIA International Convention in 2018, this training highlights what Dominique learned.

Sexual offenders have higher levels of adverse childhood experiences (ACE) than either general or other criminal populations. The Pathways Model of sex offender treatment highlights etiology of offenses. The Adaptive Information Processing Model inherent in EMDR therapy offers an efficient way to target these etiological pathways forged by trauma-induced, maladaptively stored cognitions and emotions. EMDR Therapy is uniquely suited to adapt to the different neurological and processing needs of our clients. In this presentation, we will discuss how to adapt the mechanics of EMDR to suit the needs of those with ASD, IDD, Processing Disorders, differences in learning styles, and people missing developmental milestones due to trauma within the AIP model.

Learning objectives:

1.Name the "Three A's" of the CBT and RP models of sex offeder treatment programs.

2. Name the four Self-Regulation Styles of Sex Offenders.

3. Identify the Achille's Heel Factors that require targeted interventions, such as EMDR Therapy.

Dominique is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Nationally Certified Counselor, Certified EMDR Therapist, Certified Sex Therapist, and EMDR Consultant-in-Training who works in private practice in Downtown Orlando. She specializes in Complex PTSD and Dissociation, and has worked extensively with both survivors of sexual trauma and the transgender population, along with a host of other conditions and concerns. Her work with trauma survivors that develop unhealthy compulsive coping behaviors, many of which are sexually inappropriate, is what drew her to this particular training topic.

10:10am - 11:10am Child Maltreatment, Brain Development and Psychopathology: presented by Cherilyn Rowland Petrie MA LMHC.

Originally presented by Martin Teicher, M.D., Ph.D, at the EMDRIA International Convention in 2018, this training highlights what Cherilyn learned.

This plenary presents enlightening discoveries in recent neuroscience research. This research has found structural, functional, and connectivity changes in childhood brain development associated by early life stress. These changes present as varied symptom clusters, all divergent from the usual PTSD diagnosis, and all result in the client gathering multiple labeling diagnoses. Being able to understand how early life stress impacts brain development, particularly in sensitive periods of development, will assist clinicians in being able to meet clients treatment needs.

Learning objectives:

1. Participants will learn 5 ways that early life stress impacts brain development in childhood.

2. Participants will verbalize neurological differences between trauamtized and non-traumatizedindividuals.

3. Participants willbe able to apply recent neuroscience discoveries to diagnosing clients with complex trauma presentations.
