Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is one of the most significant and innovative recent developments for the treatment of conditions related to trauma and adverse life experiences. During processing with EMDR therapy, disturbing events, frozen in time, are processed to adaptive resolution.

Supported by extensive research, EMDR is recommended for the treatment of PTSD in national and international guidelines including the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and the World Health Organisation (WHO). Its effectiveness with many other psychological disorders has also been established.

EMDR is one of the recommended NICE National Institute of Clinical Evidence (NICE) Clinical Guidance interventions for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Recommendations | Post-traumatic stress disorder | Guidance | NICE

This is a hands-on clinical skills training in the application of EMDR for a variety of psychological disorders in both adults and children. Known for his clear teaching style with its blend of warmth, humour and humility, Dr Robin Logie provides interactive, trainee-centred, group EMDR training. All trainees will practise and receive EMDR during the training – the most effective way to learn the necessary skills. Robin will be assisted by experienced EMDR Facilitators and Consultants to ensure that each trainee can be afforded individual attention. This EMDR training provides participants with theory and skills that can be immediately put to use.

EMDR practice

Every EMDR training includes the trainees practising EMDR therapy with each other during the training under live supervision from facilitators, a very powerful way of learning. All trainees will therefore be expected to come to the training prepared to work on a memory which still distresses them to a moderate level. It has to be accepted, however, that for some trainees this may open up other more distressing memories and the facilitators will assist them is how to respond to this.

Trainees should only be put forward for an EMDR training in full knowledge of the above and with their consent.

Supervision

Although the three-part training includes 10 hours of supervision, this is only provided at the time of the Part 2 and Part 3 trainings. For trainees to benefit from the training and to ensure safe and effective practice, it is recommended that (delegates would need supervision following part 1 of training which they need to arrange). Trainees would require a minimum of an hour per month, either individual or group, preferably with an accredited EMDR Consultant. You may already know of EMDR Consultants within your Trust. If however, you need to buy in this service, you can locate EMDR Consultants from the EMDR Association website https://emdrassociation.org.uk/find-a-therapist/
