The EMDR East Anglia Association steering group looks forward to welcoming you to learn, mingle, network and connect (or re-connect) with our rich regional EMDR community in what has become EMDREA’s home base at the Beet Club in the beautiful cathedral city of Ely.
Now with Six EMDR Association CPD points.
In the morning Cassandra Manning will explore with us the use of music in EMDR.
Cassandra is an integrative arts psychotherapist specialising in creative process in integrative EMDR psychotherapy.
Music as an interweave in memory reconsolidation (Mus-EMDR) was inspired by Ad de Jongh’s 2.0 training during lockdown – in which he used the Queen track We Will Rock You to help a client process during Phase 4.
Informed by her training and experience in how music can play into well-being and health, Cassandra will show us how to use music & imagery as EMDR interweaves.
Mus-EMDR uses received music (music which is not made within session, but is already recorded and offered to the client during processing) within the framework of the standard EMDR protocol. It can be used in all phases of EMDR.
In the afternoon, Esther Kiel will be showing us how to supercharge the 8 phases of the standard EMDR protocol with neuro-affirmative enhancements to therapeutic and supervision work.
Esther is a Consultant Clinical Psychologist and is neurodivergent herself.
The strengths and limitations that come with ADHD and other forms of neurodiversity, whether encountered in clients, in colleagues or in oneself, require understanding and accommodation. Rejection sensitive dysphoria, for example, may be triggered by the challenging nature of the therapeutic interaction; experiences of rejection are of course very real in neurodiverse lives.
Following Esther’s presentation in the afternoon, there will be ample time for networking with old friends and new allies.
