We are delighted to welcome EMDR Consultants, Sanja Oakley and Simon Proudlock, to share their EMDR expertise with us. The workshop will include presentations, case examples, discussions and an opportunity to practice the Feeling State Protocol.

Simon will speak about EMDR and suicidality, drawing from his wealth of experience working within NHS Crisis teams for over 10 years. He will discuss the use of EMDR in an acute care setting, introduce models of suicide and talk about how to process traumatic material which is fuelling suicidal desire, whilst taking positive risks that will enable you to help keep the client safe.

Sanja (familiar to many for her expertise as an international EMDR training facilitator) will focus on EMDR and addiction protocols. Please note that this information is not only relevant to addiction therapists, as it could potentially be used with clients who might not seek help for an addiction, but who might disclose problematic, compulsive behaviours such as attachments to ‘wrong’ partners including co-dependant relationships, aggressive behaviours, disordered eating, watching too much TV, overworking, excessive shopping, porn or internet games, etc. Learning objectives include: being able to recognise clients’ addictive and compulsive behaviours, setting targets for EMDR processing, explaining to clients how the addiction is formed from an AIP perspective, differentiating between various EMDR addiction protocols and discerning when to target a client’s addiction versus when to target the traumatic memory. Relapse prevention will also be discussed.
