Show Notes for The Aspiring Psychologist Podcast Episode 132: Why is stabilisation important for trauma therapy? EMDR PTSD

Thank you for listening to the Aspiring Psychologist Podcast.

Dr. Marianne Trent interviews Aimee Shipp, a qualified clinical associate psychologist, about trauma stabilisation. They discuss the importance of trauma stabilisation, the results it can achieve for clients and clinicians, and the process of getting research published. Aimee explains that in her service trauma stabilisation is a group program designed to fill the gap between primary and secondary care for individuals experiencing the aftereffects of complex trauma. The program focuses on safety and stabilisation, preparing individuals for further trauma therapy. She also emphasises the importance of individualising the program to meet each person's needs and preferences. Aimee and Dr. Trent also discuss the publication of research and the importance of recognising one's limits and prioritising self-care to prevent burnout.
