2008 Workshop Archive
The first Autumn Workshop was held in York on Friday 17th October 2008. We had a great venue, excellent facilities and some fantastic workshops delivered by a range of gifted presenters. The day was a total success and was completely sold out. In addition it gave every attendee 5 hours CPD to carry towards accreditation and re-accreditation.
The day consisted of 12 workshops and they were:
EMDR Supervision
What gets talked about? What the supervisee wants from EMDR supervision v. what EMDR accreditation requires: - David Blore EMDR Consultant & Facilitator.
This workshop is aimed at EMDR supervisors and supervisees alike, particularly those supervisees considering or already involved in working towards accreditation. Starting with the findings of the audit of supervision conducted earlier in 2008 immediately prior to the changing of the accreditation criteria, discussion will be focused on how to address supervisees needs and match those needs with the accreditation paperwork. INTERMEDIATE LEVEL.
