Flashforwards: Confronting the Catastrophe

Overview
“Flashforwards” uses the standard EMDR protocol to target a worst case scenario event in the future. Flashforwards will be introduced and compared with the Future Template. Situations in which the use of Flashforwards might be appropriate will be explained. The procedure for the use of Flashforwards for various disorders in which there is a fear of future events (eg phobia, PTSD, OCD) will be explained together with case examples including video of both adult and child clients. Participants will work through the Assessment phase of the EMDR protocol for a future feared situation using their own material.
