Ep 31 - Sensorimotor-Focused EMDR
Welcome to episode 31 of the Therapy Explained podcast. My guest today is Dr Art O’ Malley. Art has practiced as a medical doctor since 1990 and as a consultant child and adolescent psychiatrist from 2004 until 2015 for the NHS. He is currently Head of Clinical Services with The Ely Centre based at offices in Enniskillen and Markethill in Northern Ireland.
Art speaks to me about Sensorimotor-Focused EMDR, which integrates two well-established therapeutic approaches Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and EMDR. Art is particularly interested in the importance of being aware of how trauma is stored in the body and the necessity to take a body-based approach to address this.
Art has recently completed a two-day workshop on Sensorimotor-Focused EMDR which will be available online soon. To find out more visit www.artomalley.com.
Ep 30 - Somatic Integration and Processing
Welcome to episode 30 of the Therapy Explained podcast. I am delighted to be joined by Dr. Melanie Lee and Bridger Falkenstien. This is a return to the show for Mel whom I spoke with in episode 14 about Cognitive Analytic Therapy and a first appearance for Bridger although he is well accustomed to the world of podcasting with his own podcasts, the Notice That podcast and the Evidence-Based Therapist podcast, both of which I am a big fan of.
Mel and Bridger are here to speak about Somatic Integration and Processing, a conceptual model developed to help clinicians have a deeper understanding of working with clients.
SIP is grounded in attachment and neurodevelopment, Adaptive Information Processing and Polyvagal Theory all of which are covered today. There is a lot to unpack with SIP so if you want to find out more there are free taster webinars for all therapists, psychologists, case managers, health professionals, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and medics.
The first is on Wednesday 15th June at 7pm (UK time) and is called “Working Somatically in Psychotherapy” with another one on Wednesday 13th July at 7pm (UK time), called “Multiplicity of Self in Psychotherapy”.
To register interest in the free webinars, please email [email protected]
Further full-day online training will take place on 1st October 2022: “Introduction to Somatic Integration Processing: how to unleash your inner therapy ninja!”.
Ep 29 - Psilocybin-Assisted Psychotherapy
Welcome back to a new episode of the Therapy Explained podcast. This week I am joined by Rob Ó Cobhthaigh, the co-founder of Inwardbound. Inwardbound offers psilocybin retreat programmes in the Netherlands, with pre-screening and integration processes supported by their team of facilitators.
As part of our talk, Rob explains what psilocybin is and the recent resurgence in its use therapeutically, particularly in light of growing research supporting its benefits. Rob speaks about how safe it is as a substance but also the risks that do come with it as well as who it may not be recommended for. Although different for everything, Rob gives an overview of what a typical experience is like and how to best prepare for it.
Ep 28 - AEDP
Welcome to episode 28 of the Therapy Explained podcast. Today we head across the pond to speak with Dr Ronald Frederick, a clinical psychologist and senior faculty member of the Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) Institute.
Ron carefully explains what AEDP is and how it came to be. Ron goes puts forwards and unpacks how AEDP is an attachment based, neurobiologically informed, emotion-focused psychotherapy.
We discuss what this means, the importance of the relationship between therapist and client, the bottom-up approach, experiencing emotions in a complete manner, how AEDP relates to memory reconsolidation, unique aspects of AEDP such as metaprocessing and our innate ability to heal.
