Delegate Participation (Supervised Live-Practice)

Like in your Part 1 training, you will have to work on your own memories during 2 practical sessions.

These are not "role-play" and are not optional, but an essential component of the training to experience being the therapist and a client. We ask for professionalism and medical confidence at all times.

There will be 2 practical sessions during your Part 3 training.

You will work on 2 other memories/ issues. One will use the Standard Protocol and the other will be a variation of this. The team will guide and support you.

You must prepare a minimum of 2 memories of your own personal material - you CANNOT role play this. These 2 memories will be in addition to the 2 who worked on during Part 1. Like Part 1, these memories should be at a current subjective unit of distress (SUD) level of around 4-5 out of 10 (where 0 is neutral and 10 is the highest distress 3 is too low, and 7 is too high). It should be an old distressing life event that still holds some emotional charge. We encourage you to write a few down as you may clear a memory and move on to another.

Examples are RTAs, accidents, injuries, illnesses, school experiences including mild bullying, bad clinical experiences, memories of problems at work (managerial conflicts), death of pets, past relationship difficulties (as long as not too serious), negative comments from colleagues/ friends, social humiliation memories, childbirth difficulties etc. These are examples and not exhaustive.

Supervised Live experience is one of the most important and rewarding parts of the training. Our facilitators will support you as best they can. It is a learning environment so we ask that the utmost respect is given to your partner and the team during the whole training.
