Making a difference: The climate change SIG

Rather than feeling powerless in the face of the climate crisis, Martina Leeven reports how the Climate Change SIG has developed a three-pronged approach to help members deal better with their own eco-distress in order that they may be better equipped to help others. The Climate Change SIG was formed earlier this year after an overwhelming response to Martina's heartfelt message on Jiscmail during last summer's heatwave. It clearly demonstrated concern about climate change amongst members and a belief that there needs to be a space within the EMDR community to explore this difficult topic, what it means for us personally and professionally, and how we prepare for how it will inevitably and increasingly find its way into the work that we do going forward.

A whole range of external forces cause traumatic brain injury including blows to the head as a result of intimate partner violence. It is possible that we may be seeing many more people with this condition in our clinical practice than we realise. Jonathan Hutchins leads us through the research and shows how simple cognitive enhancement strategies may enhance EMDR in these individuals.
