What EMDR training involves
National associations affiliated with the governing
body, EMDR Europe, have
adopted standards for training in EMDR.
Ours meets the requirements as follows:
-
Part 1
(Level 1) - three full days
-
Part 2
Intermediate Day
-
Part 3
(Level 2) - three full days
-
Certificate of Completion when 3 hours of additional supervision
(group of individual) completed by you. We can provide
this or you can link with an Approved Consultant locally.
Part 1 prepares clinicians to deal with cases
presenting with simple or single incident traumas in adult life and
also self-limiting belief systems.
Following attendance at Part 2 (Intermediate workshop), where clinicians
practice and refresh the skills learned at Level 1 plus receive
consultation on cases, they are permitted to progress to the Part 3 training. Experience has shown
that participants find the Intermediate Day vital in helping them
consolidate their training and use of EMDR to date. At the
Part 3
training clinicians learn how to work with multiple traumas, or
‘complex’ trauma such as child sexual abuse.
These
trainings are accredited by EMDR Europe Association and the EMDR
Institute based in the USA. All the trainers are members of
the Institute's faculty and have been approved as Trainers by the
European governing body.
We
run regular EMDR training in Manchester, London, Cardiff, Belfast
and Dublin.
We
also run masterclasses for experienced EMDR therapists. These differ
in topic, duration and venue. Please visit the section below
for which masterclasses are available.
Eligibility
-
Mental health professionals (e.g. clinical
psychologists, psychiatrists, CPNs).
-
UKCP accredited psychotherapists.
-
IACT, BABCP, BACP accredited counsellors.
-
Other clinicians with ongoing experience in the
field of psychotrauma can be considered.

EMDR Master Classes
|
EMDR and Ego State Therapy:
Healing Complex Trauma and Dissociation |
Presented by
Dr Michael C. Paterson OBE
PhD, DClinPsych, CPsychol, CSci, AFBPsS
EMDR Institute Trainer
|
NEXT WORKSHOP:
London on Sat 31
March 2012 (9.00am to 5.00pm)
Bristol on Sat 21
April 2012 (9.00am to 5.00pm)
|
This workshop initially provides an overview of dissociation and how
it impacts on EMDR processing. There will be an explanation of Ego
State Therapy (EST) and how it fits with EMDR to provide the
stabilization clients need, as well as dealing with blocked
processing. Clinical case material is used throughout to
illustrate learning points. Through demonstration and practice
participants will learn how to build resources for clients, access
ego states in a controlled way and effect therapeutic change. In the
latter part of the day, participants will see videos of live cases
where EST is used effectively in the Preparation Phase of EMDR to:
1) identify the part-selves and 2) moderate the malevolence
displayed by two difficult ego states.
Learning objectives
-
Understand how complex trauma and dissociative disorders impact
EMDR processing
-
Understand the concept of working with part-selves as a way of
preparing clients for the standard EMDR protocol.
-
Learn how to access ego states in a controlled way and effect
therapeutic change and stability.
-
Learn techniques to deal with difficult ego states.
Rationale
We all display particular patterns of thinking, feeling and acting,
depending on the situation. The transition is usually seamless in
well-adjusted people, but where there has been disrupted attachment
or sustained early life trauma the result is often the formation of
particular ego states, also known as alters, parts, or schema
modes. These states perform roles usually geared towards survival,
but in adulthood they can be dysfunctional. Depending upon a
client’s early life experiences some ego states can be malevolent,
wanting bad things for the client such as willing them to suffer in
some way. These clients present us with the greatest challenges
through what we know as complex trauma and dissociative disorders.
It is necessary for clients to remain stable during EMDR sessions
and contained between sessions, particularly with complex trauma and
dissociative disorders. There is a need, therefore, to learn
techniques to work in the Preparation Phase with more difficult
clients so they too can benefit from the full EMDR protocol. It is
also helpful to know how to deal with blocked processing in the
Desensitization Phase due to the interference of an ego-state.
The Presenter
Dr Michael Paterson is a Clinical Psychologist based in Belfast
specialising in the treatment of multiply traumatised people. It was
largely based on his clinical work with EMDR that he was awarded the
OBE in 2008 for Services to Healthcare in Northern Ireland.
Always an advocate for EMDR, Michael sat on CREST in 2003 (Northern
Ireland) and played a key role in ensuring the recommendation of
EMDR as an effective treatment for PTSD in adults; the guidance from
CREST subsequently fed into the NICE deliberations and their
recommendation in 2005.
He was invited by Dr Shapiro to train with her as an EMDR Institute
Trainer, joining the Institute’s Faculty in 2006. Michael is the
current President of the EMDR Association of UK & Ireland.
Michael has authored a chapter in the landmark book, Healing the
Heart of Trauma and Dissociation with EMDR and Ego State Therapy.
He has also published articles on stress, and on trauma in the
emergency services. He has presented at conferences on treating
complex PTSD, and also conferences specialising in dissociation.
