Dissociative Identity Disorder:

Valuable Perspectives and Tools from

Structural Dissociation, Ego State Therapy

and EMDR Therapy. 

NOTE FOR REGISTRANTS: Live virtual attendance required for this limited event.

A key feature of this amazing, first-time event is the use of video footage of work with a client, "P," who has Dissociative Identity Disorder. Part of the generous contribution by "P" to allow for use of these videos is that they are restricted to live viewing only and no recordings be made available. This means the only way to attend this event is through live virtual attendance during the scheduled event times. No recordings will be made available and no later viewing is possible.

This event is also not like our other recurring events – while we hold regular weekend webinars and annual 10-month seminars, this event is unlikely to be held again in the near future. It is a rare event, and potentially a one-time offering, so if you would like to attend, this is the offering planned for the foreseeable future! Don't miss out on your chance to join us if you'd like to expand your work with clients with DID!

Perpetrator Introjects in DID

This especially challenging aspect of work with clients who have DID has likely never before been presented with videos. The extraordinary videos will graphically illustrate the didactic teaching. The extraordinary videos included with this material  will graphically illustrate the didactic teaching. They poignantly and profoundly show the successful treatment of the client's Perpetrator Interject, uncovered in their fourth year of working with Gillian. Gillian primarily utilizes Internal Family Systems and EMDR 2.0 in her work with clients with DID.

These workshops are based on years of extensive work in the field: Farnsworth has been teaching workshops on working with clients with DID around the country and online since 2016. Gillian is a dynamic and engaging teacher who has an extraordinary affinity for working with the complexities of her clients who have DID. Farnsworth and Gillian have copresented several times recently. Drawing on the rich wisdom of the masters and their own experience, they will present a clear path to greater success with your clients who have/or may have DID. Registrants will be given access to a number of valuable articles. Participants who read them beforehand reported getting significantly more out of the training.

Objectives:

1. Name 3 ways that Perpetrator Introjects/Perpetrator Imitator Parts (PIs) harm the person of which they are a part.
2. Describe 2 ways that PIs believe they are protecting the person.
3. Describe how PIs in clients with DID are often created.
4. Explain why PIs initially cannot tolerate Present Time Orientation.
5. Describe 3 of the ways that Gillian’s client “P” learned to differentiate herself from the grandmother’s voice.
6. Briefly describe how “P” developed profound empathy for her grandmother, and its impact on P in the present.
7. Explain how there can be both internalizing (harming inwardly) and externalizing (harming others) PIs
