Dr Michael Paterson talks about the power of EMDR
Dr Michael Paterson OBE is a former police officer who served within the Royal Ulster Constabulary in Northern Ireland during the conflict years.
In 1981, during an IRA rocket attack on his armoured police Land Rover, he sustained significant and life-changing injuries, losing both arms and suffering severe lacerations to his lower limbs. Michael lost his police career and faced an uphill struggle to change his life.
In this episode he talks about his own experiences of trauma and the powerful effects of re-processing that set him on his EMDR journey. Michael went on to become a leading expert in EMDR in the UK and Ireland.
This is a Laura Beech production for EMDR UK.
