She developed the first protocol for the use of EMDR with highly dissociative individuals, publishing cautions about EMDR with dissociation, and for first urging the screening of every client for dissociation before administering EMDR. She has trained thousands of mental health professionals in these special procedures since 1993.She lives in a log house in the forest on Bainbridge Island, near Seattle, Washington, USA where she does intensive treatment in the three-day format. Sandra is a Fellow of the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation.Her books include:The coedited Neurobiology and Treatment of Traumatic Dissociation: Toward an Embodied Self with Ulrich Lanius and Frank CorriganThe Beauty and Burden of Autism: An Illustrated Guide and WorkbookLooking Through the Eyes of Trauma and Dissociation: An Illustrated Guide for EMDR Therapists and ClientsWhen There Are No Words: Repairing Early Trauma and Neglect from the Attachment Period with EMDR TherapyIndigenous Trauma and Dissociation: Healers, Psychotherapies and the Drum, with Shelley Spear ChiefWe’re Listening Body: Integrating EMDR, Somatic and Ego State Therapies with Derrick DoigeAnd All the Colors of Me: My First Book on Dissociation with Ana GomezLearning ObjectivesDay 1:Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)Day 1 will focus on the development and maintenance of OCD.
