Clinical Psychologist Dr Katie Baughan has offered some information on EMDR:

What Is EMDR Therapy?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a powerful, evidence-based psychotherapy designed to help people heal from the emotional distress caused by traumatic or upsetting life experiences. Whether you're dealing with PTSD, anxiety, grief, or past trauma, EMDR helps your brain reprocess painful memories so they no longer feel overwhelming.
When traumatic or upsetting life events happen, they are sometimes not stored like other memories. They can feel intrusive and can feel like you are reexperiencing the event again. There can be a sensory element to the memory (smells, sounds, physical sensations) and sometimes people will experience nightmares. Through bi-lateral stimulation (mostly eye movements) and structured phases, EMDR enables your brain to process and integrate stuck memories—allowing emotional healing to occur.

EMDR is a recommended psychological therapy by NICE (National Institute for Clinical Excellence) and Matrix A Guide to Delivering Psychological Therapies in Scotland.
Here is a link to a video which can explain a bit more about EMDR.

A new initiative is delving into the archives to shine the spotlight on the personalities and businesses which continue to shape Stirling 👇

There appears to still be an issue with the internet so our phone line is currently down.
I’ll attempt to get back through to Vodafone tomorrow to find out when we’ll be back online. 😫

Our phone line and broadband are currently down.
Vodafone ‘helpline’ less than helpful and number keeps cutting out.

I'm a qualified reiki practitioner, member of the UK Reiki Federation, proud wife and mum of two. It's sounds like such a cliché to hear that reiki finds you when it needs to, but for me it did exactly that. I was working my way through a particularly challenging time in life, trying almost anyt

Can anyone help with Ambers research?

Subject: Research Study: How Period Pain Affects Young People in Dance and Daily Life for ages 12-25

Dear Parents and Carers,

I hope you’re all well. I’ve been contacted by Amber Lancaster, an MSc Health Psychology student at the University of Stirling, who is carrying out a research project about how period pain (dysmenorrhea) affects young people’s daily lives. This includes the impact it can have on emotional wellbeing, school, and activities like dance.

Many young people who menstruate (up to 90%) experience period pain, and for some it can affect their ability to attend or enjoy activities they love. Despite this, it’s often something that isn’t spoken about enough.

Amber’s study focuses on young people aged 12–25 and involves a short, anonymous online survey that takes about 10 minutes. For anyone under 16, parental consent is required. There’s also an optional opportunity to take part in a small online focus group to share more personal experiences.

Amber would be very grateful if any of our students and families were willing to help. You can support in the following ways:
• Completing the survey if your child is aged 12–25 and would like to take part
• Sharing the study with others who might be interested
• Displaying the attached poster if you have any suitable places to share it

All the information, including participant and parent information sheets and the survey itself, can be found here:

https://research.sc/participant/login/dynamic/A4D66E45-5008-42DE-B964-8F5473EBA342

Amber is happy to answer any questions if you’d like to know more.

Thank you so much for any support you’re able to give to this important research.

Best wishes,
Carla
