Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing, or EMDR, is a NICE recommended psychological treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder, and is also becoming more widely used in the prevention of PTSD in healthcare settings where staff are exposed to traumatic events in their work.
In this episode, Paula is joined by Dr Michael Paterson OBE, a clinical psychologist and EMDR Europe accredited senior trainer.
Michael describes what EMDR is and how it can be used to support health professionals with both recent and past events, both big T and small T traumas. He also movingly talks about his own experiences of being involved in an explosion that led to life-changing injuries while he was a serving police officer in Northern Ireland and the difference EMDR has made to him personally and professionally.
