I should add that both the safe place and resource installation are procedures that are done to help stabilize the client. The resource installation procedure aids in the incorporation of affects and qualities the are positive, and enhancing whether or not the trauma work is subsequently done. The safe place serves a comparable function, but as the name implies, concentrates only one the ability to feel safe in previously disturbing situations. Neither of these procedures entail trauma processing. In addition, EMDR has been used to assist children to overcome learning problems. Clinical reports have indicated that it is useful not only to overcome blocks to learning, but to actually learn the factual material. However, no studies have yet been done with this population.
