with

Sarah Robinson & Natalie Bailey 

 

EMDR Therapy In Forensics and Secure Settings

 

Learning objectives:

The CPD aims to explore clinical application of EMDR within a Forensic or Secure environment.  It explores ways of adapting EMDR within clinical settings to ensure it targets the challenges working within this population.  It will explore this within the framework of all 8 phases of EMDR, leaning towards a more attachment informed way of working clinically.  

Please see Eventbrite for more details

NEW EVENT!!!

EMDR for Chronic/Persistent Pain

Dr Romy Sherlock

1st February 2025

6 CPD Points awarded

Approximately 50% of people with persistent pain will have comorbid PTSD symptoms. We know that people with pain can have significant complexity and sometimes feel like 'heartsink' clients. This workshop aims to increase clinician confidence in working with people with pain and trauma. Often, we may need to adapt our regular safety and stabilisation strategies and be confident with our conceptualisation and target planning for people with pain. We will also review and offer practice using Mark Grant's pain protocol.

The aims of this workshop are:

  • To understand how the basics of contemporary pain neuroscience complement our understanding of EMDR with pain

  • To refresh conceptualisation skills using the 3-pronged model when working with people with pain

  • To become confident using Mark Grant's Pain Protocol for expanding formulation around pain, reducing the impact of pain
