For supervision, Karlton will assume a collaborative role with the volunteer therapist who brings the baby client and family. Karlton will demonstrate how to include the parents in the BMR process, and utilize the clues from the baby’s face to illuminate the Prominent Presenter.

• Experience the pacing of a session to manage tolerance thresholds 
• Understand the psychological consequence(s) of specific implicit memories connected to certain stages or substages, and make informed decisions as to which therapeutic protocols ought to be considered 
• Witness how, and discuss in the debrief, the BMR therapeutic protocol can be done over Zoom
• Learn homework to send the parents home with to continue offering the attention demanded by the implicit memory, or how to deal with secondary or tertiary implicit memories
