Great to see the history taking. The traumas that occur over a life all share the senses. My therapist ignored that when I became stuck in EMDR during 2017. When my body switched off responding to EMDR reprocessing. One of the newer 1988 traumas had blocked the reprocessing of 1963. I hid my childhood rape from every therapist between 1963 and 2010. Numerous traumas added 'layers' with the identical trigger senses over decades. Military events added broken cognitive loops. EMDR eventually set me free of CPTSD at 62.
Doctor, your videos are amazing and are probably the best on youtube. Someone who is suffering personally, you have given a path for those when other doors are closed off. You will be remembered in history, continue your amazing work.
EMDR therapist here from the United States. I found your videos while I was looking for attachment-informed EMDR videos, and lucked upon yours!! Such useful information and techniques that I’ll be implementing “across the pond” in the USA, and have shared your videos with a colleague. Thank you for going into such detail in how to implement techniques 🤍
Thank you Doctor, I am taking EMDR training and these video's are very helpful. I appreciate the time and effort you put in to making this available as a learning tool, its very generous.
Thank you for all of the valuable information you share. You are very knowledgeable and seem very empathetic and compassionate. I appreciate all of your help. I have a question if you don’t mind me asking. What if a client can not remember a lot of the information they are asked about from elementary school age or before and the float back, etc has not triggered anything? Thanks so much!
Thanks for your question Kathy, you raise something which can be seen in a number of clients. When a client has 'amnesia' for life events in childhood I will be interested in why this may be the case. If the client experienced as a child significant physical illness, neglect, abandonment, and/or abuse of different forms, they may have dissociated as a way of coping with the emotional and physical discomfort experienced. Because of this, the disturbing memories, plus any positive ones, could now be locked behind an amestic barrier. I will screen for dissociation using the Dissociative Experiences Scale, a copy is available at sandiego-emdr-trn.weebly.com/uploads/2/1/6/6/21662230/des-adult.pdf. I have a video in this series on 'What is dissociation and how does it serve us?' - ruclips.net/video/7IaXr8vAjHw/видео.html . Where there are dissociative parts involved in preventing access to memories for my client who attends therapy , I will generally engage these parts in ego sate therapy as part of Phase 2 (Preparation Phase) of EMDR Therapy. There is available a Resources page on my EMDR Therapy website which gives more information and links re Dissociation - emdrmasterclass.com/emdr-training-uk/. There are also more videos in my RUclips series on working with complex client presentations.
@@MichaelPatersonOBE Thanks for your reply. I can see this one fine, but I can not see what the one before this says at all. Could it be accidentally set to private?
