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.&nbsp;Michael’s details and links:Websites:&nbsp;<a href="https://drmichaelpaterson.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">drmichaelpaterson.com</a><a href="http://www.emdrmasterclass.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.emdrmasterclass.com</a> (visit the Resources page for tips for good EMDR Therapy practice and links to short training videos)Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/michael.paterson.5203" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Michael Paterson</a>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/drmpaterson" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.youtube.com/user/drmpaterson</a>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-michael-paterson-obe-61491618/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dr Michael Paterson OBE</a>References:<a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-019-0931-y" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jinhee Baek et al: Neural circuits underlying a psychotherapeutic regimen for fear disorders (www.nature.com)</a><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23049852/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Marco Pagani: Neurobiological correlates of EMDR monitoring - an EEG study (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)</a><a href="http://www.psy-tcc-mougins.fr/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/EMDR-enfants.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Zaghrout-Hodali: Building Resilience and Dismantling Fear: EMDR Group Protocol With Children in an Area of Ongoing Trauma (www.psy-tcc-mougins.fr)</a><a href="http://emdrfoundation.org/toolkit/rep.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Francine Shapiro: Recent Events Protocol (emdrfoundation.org)</a><a href="https://emdrfoundation.org/toolkit/rtep-manual.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Elan Shapiro: The EMDR Recent Traumatic Episode Protocol (EMDR R- TEP) for Early EMDR Intervention (EEI) (emdrfoundation.org)</a><a href="http://emdrfoundation.org/toolkit/gtep.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Elan Shapiro: EMDR Group- Traumatic Episode Protocol (G-TEP) (emdrfoundation.org)</a><a href="https://www.besselvanderkolk.com/resources/the-body-keeps-the-score" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bessel van der Kolk: The Body Keeps The Score (www.besselvanderkolk.com)</a>___________I’d love to connect with you so do come and find me on <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/drpaularedmond/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a> or at my <a href="http://drpaularedmond.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">website</a> and do check out the <a href="https://acpuk.org.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ACP-UK</a> and everything it has to offer.<a href="https://podfollow.com/when-work-hurts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Follow and subscribe</a> so you don’t miss an episode!
