Multidimensional Integrative Healing and EMDR

June 16–18, 2023

Laurel Parnell PhD

Multidimensional Integrative Healing recognizes that there are multiple dimensions of reality and experience that exist and can be accessed for healing. EMDR is a powerful therapy for healing and integrating what blocks us from living fully. When we open to multiple dimensions in our work, we increase our capacity to heal on deeper levels that transcend time and space.

In this workshop for advanced EMDR practitioners, we will learn basic tools for creating boundaries and energetic sovereignty. We will meditate together and explore our dreams. We will discuss topics of interest, share our cases and be guided in discovery of spiritual and ancestral resources.

Topics of interest include:

  • Development and use of spiritual resources as support in healing work, including helping spirits, ancestral resources, and power animals
  • Using EMDR with near death experiences
  • EMDR and after-death communications
  • EMDR with past-life trauma
  • Dreamwork and EMDR
  • Working with energetic chords
  • Ancestral and intergenerational healing using EMDR

In this workshop participants will learn:

  • What is needed from the therapist for Multidimensional Integrative Healing and EMDR
  • Basic tools for creating boundaries and energetic sovereignty including grounding chord, energy call back, energy bubble, and True Self recognition
  • How to include and use spiritual resources

This workshop is meant for Advanced EMDR practitioners, Parnell Institute trained clinicians.. To register for your space, please visit us at https://drlaurelparnell.com/multidimensional-integrative-healing-and-emdr-workshop/
