Online Group EMDR + Mindfulness Self Compassion
for Healthcare Practitioners
Support and skills training for people in helping professions – an intervention for Vicarious Trauma and Moral Injury
Online - 4 September, 9am - 3.30pm
Do you think you have symptoms of compassion fatigue, burnout, vicarious trauma, moral injury or PTSD?
Are you in a helping profession because this is where your passion and skills are? But you feel less energetic about your job because sometimes it just takes a lot out of you?
This workshop is for you.
Data shows that a very high percentage of people in the helping professions report symptoms of compassion fatigue, burnout, vicarious trauma, moral injury and even PTSD. This leads to job dissatisfaction, disengagement and disillusionment for a very needed workforce and a high turnover of staff. This makes sense, because people in helping professions are exposed to intense emotional and traumatic material and events – multiple times every day, week in, week out!
Comprehensive 1-day intensive programme - online for the first time
Understanding the impact of witnessing others’ suffering on people in helping professions
Introduction to Group EMDR (Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing) – how and why it works. How to follow the facilitator while it is applied to you.
G-TEP (processing big-, small-, old or new personal or vicarious traumas with the group traumatic experience EMDR protocol)
as well as G-REP (Group resource building) group EMDR session to focus on strengths and adaptive information in your nervous system
Mindful Self-compassion skills and experience
Experience group EMDR as a participant for yourself – silent, confidential, powerful. Feel the weight of vicarious trauma and moral injury shifting.
This is an experiential workshop.
You will feel the work happening in your nervous system and experience the difference after additional REM (rapid eye movement) sleeps.
You will also receive pre-workshop material to read, save and print for yourself.
Please note: This is not an EMDR training.

What others have said about previous workshops by Wilmé
This is powerful stuff!
In the past, I had nightmares that related to this clients’ story of trauma. I felt so unsafe. That has not happened once since the ASAP.
I can now talk and think about the incident without feeling overwhelmed – something has definitely shifted for me.
Now I have hope for continuing with my work as therapist again. If I can unpack my backpack with this group method regularly, I will be able to recover from being burnout.
If feels like a weight has lifted from my shoulders.
