 Justin Havens has asked us to circulate information about a webinar happening also on the 29th January - obviously the EMDR South west one is the most important however you can access this one via a recording: This webinar by the founder of the Flash Technique (Dr Phil Manfield) has been run several times in person and online, and Flash is a well established approach for use during EMDR preparation and desensitisation to reduce the SUD’s of intense traumatic memories. The webinar costs about £95 (its booked in US dollars) and includes 6 UK EMDR CPD points if you book the option with a quiz (the more expensive option $129).

The morning is recorded with myself providing Q and A support, and the US team joins for the live segment in the afternoon, which includes Dr Manfield working with challenging cases live.

All handouts and access to the recording are available too.

 Just attending a consultants day - one suggestion is that regional groups facilitate a regular networking meeting for consultants - what do you think? This would have a focus on supporting accreditation processes.
