The EMDR Gateway team

We have close to 1000 users and we’re financially solvent.  This has enabled us to make a significant donation to our partner Trauma Aid UK, 

A big investment in new EMDR training videos and educational material in 2022.

The first new Video releases in 2022 shows how to use EMDR to overcome performance anxiety and stage fright (Video 022); Video 077 demonstrates how to create and install three resource figures for nurturing, protection and wisdom and how to use them as interweaves to unblock blocked processing is available in late February.

In March there are six films scheduled for production addressing important issues: 

  • a series of three videos showing ways of using how EMDR can be used with couples with relational difficulties 

  • when and how to use the EMD protocol plus a great easy to read and clear article about the differences between EMD, EMDr, EMDR and EMDR R-Tep

  • using story-telling and EMDR with  children

  • managing abreactions.

“Though we are fully committed to expanding our online library of EMDR videos, the EMDR Gateway team are excited to develop in-person training, expanding our scope by combining online and offline resources.”

EMDR Podcasts and live face-to-face (in-person) workshops in 2022

We are currently exploring the possibility of launching an educational podcast based on EMDR therapy and hope to have it launched this year. If you are experienced in the field of EMDR and are interested in participating in one of our podcast episodes, please contact us. Subject to Covid-19, we are delighted to announce that we are pursuing the prospect of starting face-to-face EDMR workshops, using some of the practices outlined in our video library. These are likely to be held in the UK and we will endeavor to structure them so that they carry CPD points.

If you would like to be kept informed of the development of these workshops, please feel free to join our mailing list via the form at the bottom of this page.

Well not quite yet, so breathe a sigh of relief.  Your job is safe for a while!

Dissociation is a process of emotional distancing often experienced by people undergoing a traumatic experience. It is also commonly experienced by clients during an abreaction to the trauma.

A new clinical trial provides more evidence that a change of mindset, not prescription drugs, is key to eliminating nagging (chronic) back pain. A paper in The Journal of the American Medical Association, as reported in the London Times, showed long-standing back pain as a ‘modifiable problem of the nervous system rather than a disc, bone or muscle problem’.
