About the Book
This model uses a multimodal, step-by-step approach to restructuring the internal personality system to reclaim the authentic "Self" by providing new attachment experiences for "Child" parts of Self and negotiating new adult-life roles. AFTT-A orients all inner personality components to the present moment in which unmet childhood needs for nurturing and protection can be met within clients themselves.
The book delivers a sequence of scripted protocols that accesses and activates the client's own strengths, creating an internal system of resources and using bilateral stimulation to deepen positive affective shifts.
Key Features:
- Presents protocols and protocol scripts for each step of the therapy process
- Uses a PAC (parent-adult-child) model to help clients understand parts of Self
- Delivers a standalone treatment for restructuring personality and healing attachment ruptures
- Integrates preparation and reprocessing phases of EMDR therapy
- Emphasizes therapist self-reflection to facilitate optimal therapeutic relationships

This is the book that I would have written. It mixes all the techniques that I use to provide EMDR way better than the original model. A must read for practitioners.

An amazing wealth of knowledge for clinicians. This model offers more techniques and ideas for EMDR trained therapists. Would also highly recommend their 2.5 day training; Part 1 and Part 2! This approach combines Polyvagal, IFS, EMDR, PAC model and ego state work. It really gives a groundwork for clients who are about to enter the reprocessing phase of EMDR.

I was waiting a while to see if anyone was going to rate this book before making the decision to part with so much money but with no ratings forthcoming I decided to take the plunge and am so glad I did. There is so much useful information in this gem of a book, particularly for resourcing clients who have developmental trauma and attachment wounds. With a lot of current discussion around IFS, parts and polyvagal theory this text seems to tie it all together in a really useable way. I will never think of Kintsugi in the same way again, and my clients have also really loved this analogy. I know this is a book I will keep going back to so money definitely well spent. Thank you.
