EMDR and resources part one - resources as we understand them, including differences between adult, child, adolescent and young person resourcing. 

Presenter: John Campbell-Beattie, Accredited EMDR Consultant.

This workshop will cover: resources as we understand them, the use of resources and constant assessment, differences between adult, child, adolescent and young person resourcing.  Predominantly examining the client perspective. Developing knowledge about the development of resources from a protocol or script and understanding resources that can be discovered within the client, enhanced and put to use during and between therapy sessions.  The use of being inquisitive, asking questions as a means of constant assessment and awareness, especially with children, young people and adolescents.

The use of the EMDR Recent Traumatic Episode Protocol  (R-TEP) with intensive care survivors experiencing  Post Intensive Care Syndrome

Presenter: Rachel Clarke, Accredited EMDR Consultant.

This workshop will cover: information on ICU related PTSD including the role of delirium and how EMDR can be an effective intervention and in particular the use of the R-TEP protocol with ICU COVID survivors.  There is a limited evidence base in connection with ICU related PTSD.  Clinical experience indicates that EMDR is an effective intervention targeting images, thoughts, emotions, and physical sensation and enabling reprocessing of memory that is often very disjointed and impacted by the effects of critical illness, including delirium.  Understanding how the RTEP protocol provides an effective framework for processing these experiences, particularly given that the episode can incorporate ongoing chronic health problems and a fear of re-occurrence.  Developing the understanding of how relevant EMDR is with both ICU survivors in general and with people who have experienced COVID in particular.  Increasing EMDR practitioners’ confidence in the skills they bring to this situation. 

Date: Friday 16th July 3-5pm

Location: Online

 Hi Everyone as some of you are aware we are looking to create our very own library! And I am very happy to be the new EMDR South West librarian! This might be a bit bumpy to start with, but hopefully we can iron out any difficulties as we go along! Okay, so in the first instance if you have a book or two you think you might like to add to our library mailing list than I will be collating the books ( The list will also be kept in the file section of the FB page) But please message me so I can create a list. I will update and regularly post what books are available to borrow. The borrower will need to pay all postage and this they can arrange together. Also if possible the borrower could make a donation to the association of £2

Post covid we might think of ways of dropping and picking books up? I could be the go between letting people know if the book is available and whom to contact and sending out friendly reminders if over due! Loan period, thinking around 8 weeks. But open to all thoughts and ideas ! Particularly on these practical issues!
This potentially has many layers! It allows people to read books they wouldn’t necessarily afford, t’s a great resource for learning about books members might not have heard of! It’s a nice community activity ! It’s a-bit of fundraising! We might get free books for members to review ( I will contact relevant publishers, just on the off chance!) Who doesn’t love books ! 📚 Sally
