I trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a specialised treatment for trauma, and began practising in 1998. I work with police officers, ex-military personnel and civilians who have been traumatised in the Troubles.
Clinical psychologist Michael Paterson was injured in an IRA rocket attack while working as an RUC officer in 1981. Seventeen years later he benefited from EMDR therapy.
