| Traumatic bereavement is the state of having suffered the loss of a loved one when grief and Loss over the death is overpowered by the traumatic stress brought about by its circumstances. This clinically-oriented workshop focuses on integrating EMDR into the treatment of grief and loss in traumatic bereavement. The workshop utilizes Therese Rando’s six “R” processes of loss and mourning as the framework for operationalizing what is necessary for healthy assimilation and accommodation of loss. Understanding these processes is important for the clinician to: assess the mourner’s progression through the loss and mourning processes; understand where the client might be “stuck” or “blocked;” and identify what to target with EMDR to enable successful progression through the loss and mourning processes. In bereavement, trauma can disable the ability to cope, impair functioning, compromise the ability to adapt, and add significantly to the mourner’s distress. Trauma also complicates loss and mourning by interfering with the processes the mourner needs to go through for assimilation and accommodation of the loss. A loss can be so distressing that access to emotions requiring attention is prevented and/or memory networks containing positive memories of the loved one are blocked. With EMDR processing, not only can emotions be worked through, but memory networks can become accessible and capable of playing a vital role in accommodation of loss. Memories of the deceased are the building blocks of an adaptive inner representation; they serve as an essential bridge between the world with and the world without the loved one. EMDR processing seems to allow the client to experience, express,
and discharge the pain associated with the loss. This is necessary
both to learn the reality of that loss and for the eventual adaptive
shifting resulting from the linking in of other networks with positive,
adaptive information (e.g., healthy accommodation).
