“EMDR and Art Psychotherapy combined Training day”
A workshop presented by Lee Anna Simmons, Art Psychotherapist, SA&T
EMDR West Midlands Regional Support Group 
Friday, 7 September 2018 from 09:30 to 16:30 (BST)


This workshop will share methods for bringing art to EMDR practice, derived from Lee Anna Simmons Art & EMDR Psychotherapy sessions at SA&T (Social Art & Therapy). Simmons experience as an artist helps her therapy practice reach diverse communities, to work non-verbally and harness their creativity in surfacing un-conscious drives, defence mechanisms and wisdom. Simmons has found combining art with EMDR helpful with a wide range of clients including adults, children and adolescents through private practice and within public services. This work includes attachment difficulties, hoarding, single and multiple trauma, and phobias. 

Art Psychotherapy & EMDR theory and practice will be explored through group discussion, exercises and case studies. 

Content 
  • Why use EMDR with Art Therapy? 
  • Explore a method for combining modalities
  • Drawing and painting the safe place
  • Examples of bilateral eye movements with painting
  • Case study: EMDR (and art therapy) with people who hoard 
  • Identifying trauma using art and interweaving art with the EMDR protocol.

  •  To build a better understanding of art psychotherapy practice
