What is VOC stand for?

What is Validity of Cognition?

100

Three-Prong Process consists of what three areas?


What is Past events, present triggers, future template selected for processing?

For full EMDR treatment effects, (1) past incidents, (2) present triggers, and (3) future templates need to be fully processed.

100

The process of simultaneously activating a traumatic memory while performing a secondary task, like eye movements, that demands cognitive resources. This dual task forces the brain's working memory (short-term memory) to work harder, limiting its capacity to hold and process the vivid and emotional aspects of the traumatic memory. 


What is TAXING WORKING MEMORY?

100

Unconscious benefits or advantages a person may derive from maintaining a maladaptive behavior or symptom, even though it is causing distress?

What is Secondary gain?

100

This phases involves Reevaluation?


What is Phase 8?

200

What does SUDS stand for?


What is Subjective Units of Disturbance Scale?

200

Earliest identified memory that resonates with the client's presenting complaints.

What is a Touchstone Memory?

A memory that lays the foundation for the client’s current presenting issue or problem. This is the memory that formed the core of the maladaptive network or dysfunction. It is the first time the client may have believed, “I am not good enough” or that this conclusion was formed.

200

EMDR has how many stages?



What is Eight?

200

What does NC stand for? 

What is Negative cognition (NC). This is the negative self-belief associated with the unprocessed and dysfunctional negatively stored incident/event.

200

Which phase involves History Taking (AIP Informed Biopsychosocial)


What is Phase 1?

300

What does BLS stand for?


What is Bilateral Stimulation?

300

What does PC stand for?

What is Positive cognition (PC). The positive belief which reflects the client’s desired direction of change.

300

The ____back Technique is an imagery exercise that acts as a bridge to earlier dysfunctional memories. 

What is the Floatback Technique?


If the client is unable to identify the touchstone through direct questioning, the clinician’s next option is to use the floatback technique developed by William Zangwill (Browning, 1999; Young, Zangwill, & Behary, 2002) to elicit the past event that is responsible for the client’s current dysfunction.

300

________memory. This type of memory has been described by Dr. Shapiro (2001) as an inaccessible or untapped, earlier memory that contributes to the client’s current dysfunction and that subsequently blocks the reprocessing of it.

What is a Feeder Memory? 

300

This phase involves Desensitization?


What is Phase 4?

400

AIP meaning?


What is Adaptive Information Processing (AIP)?

400

The client is asked to focus on the most recent memory of an event as a starting point for floating back into time through similar memories to find the original memory or cause of the client’s presenting problem/issue. The ______ scan is probably the easiest and quickest way to get to the touchstone event and can be the most powerful.

What is Affect scan?

400

Refers to the ability to simultaneously be aware of both the present moment and the distressing thoughts, feelings, or memories related to a traumatic event. It's essentially a state of being grounded in the here-and-now while also accessing and processing past experiences.

What is dual awareness?

400

A _______belief is a belief that stops the processing of an initial target. This type of belief may resolve spontaneously during reprocessing or may require being targeted separately.

What is a Blocking belief?

400

This phase involves Preparation (Grounding/Affect Management)


What is Phase 2?

500

What does DAS stand for?


What is Dual Attention Stimulation?

500

___________ refers to a intense emotional or physical reaction that can occur when a client re-experiences a past traumatic event during treatment. (has beginning, middle, end)

What is an abreaction?

500

Is any stimulation, visual, auditory, or kinesthetic that addresses both the left and right sides of the brain in sequence.

What is Bilateral stimulation (BLS). 


EMDR processing neutralizes negative events by means of bilateral stimulation.

500

EMDR loves a R.A.T.?

Your adaptive/postive cognition needs to be

R_____ A________ T______

Realistic, Adaptive, & True

This phase involves doing a Body Scan?


What is Phase 6?
