Simone, I am glad you enjoyed the information in the video. To answer your question Phase 1 can take 1-3 sessions depending upon how many traumatic events are in someone's history. Phase 2 is usually accomplished in one session. Phase 3 is done at the onset of each target and usually takes 5 minutes. Phase 4 is the reprocessing, takes up the bulk of a session, and depending upon the rating of the event (SUD), Phase 4 can be completed in 1-3 sessions. Phase 5 is the rewiring of a positive belief and takes 5-10 minutes. Phase 6 is a scan of the body with regard to the new belief and anything left from the original part of the trauma image. Phase 7 is future template...using the new belief, imagining a similar situation, and how'd you respond differently. Phase 8 is done at the beginning of the next session to see what insights or changes surfaced after the previous session and it is also done at the completion of treatment.
