Why did you choose to train (or retrain) in EMDR therapy?
I trained in EMDR reluctantly in 2009. I saw it as all hype, the latest “new thing”, its results all due to the power of suggestion. I thought I had better get trained though, or I would fall behind my peers professionally. I still remember my first EMDR patient, a lady who had survived a serious car crash. I do not know who was more surprised… even though I did not believe it, EMDR worked! Since then, I have become a devoted disciple. I accredited as a Practitioner, Consultant and Facilitator. I love the “can do” attitude, the professionalism and creativity of this community. I love how, as supervisees learn to integrate EMDR into their practice, their confidence grows, and they blossom as therapists.
What is your favourite place on the planet?
Apart from work, it has to be my kitchen, looking out at the garden, enjoying the assortment of family, friends, and dogs of all sizes, and all of us having a jolly good laugh.
