6 PEER RESPONSES DUE IN 6 HOURS.. EACH SET OF 2 HAS ITS OWN INSTRUCTIONS
Respond to at least two of your classmates
KORIE'S POST:
I am going to be using my current job as a scenario. I currently work with an orthopedic, neurologist, and Interventional pain management doctor. We do send our patients out if our doctors can not fully treat the patient to there full capacity.
I have a patient that had gotten into a horrible car accident that she and her husband were hospitalized for a month from. They were driving back to FL from TX and another car went to switch lanes and he saw the car and with a quick reaction he switched lanes and with that they got dragged 10 feet under a semi truck. They had lots of neck and back pains, but mostly PTSD really badly.
I go in and I get the history and vitals and go over a bunch of things with the patient before the Dr goes in. I will present the case to the Dr and then they go in to see the patient. Once, the Dr comes out he will tell me what the plan is with the patient so then I can get them set up with all orders. When I had presented this case with the Dr, I told them all that they will need to see a Physc due to the severity of the PTSD.
The Dr did come out of the room and did tell me that he is going to be sending the patients to see a Physc as even with his neurologist skills this PTSD is out of his hands. Our, office does not do deep PTSD as this patient does need to have. We also sent the patient to see a counselor as well to have someone else to speak to regarding this accident. Some people once they are in an accident they do get very freaked out and very gittery to drive again, some have such issues that they get panic attacks or black out when in the car just as a passenger.
We had to send this patient out as our office does not handle such cases as deep with PTSD as this case was.
BROOKE'S POST:
The organization I work for now has many different departments. While we all work in public health, we all do different things. We all serve the same population but we all target different individuals in that population. I currently work in the education department which means, I cannot help an individual that comes in and needs help in the health insurance department. What I can do is refer that person out to the person in charge of that. My current workplace may not fit into this scenario as much as mental health and/or health professionals.
Scenario:
Adult male comes in to the VA clinic for his weekly marriage counseling appoint with his clinical social worker. Husband and Wife have been attending weekly cognitive behavior therapy marriage counseling for the last 4 months with no notable change in marriage or attitudes in regards to marriage. The couple has 3 children, a mix of yours, mine, and ours. Wife moved out of the couples home with the children for the last 9 months. The first appointment the couple had was separate appointments for each. It is clear t.

EMDR: Effective Treatment for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Patsy De Courcy-Ireland, M.S.W., RSW
It has not been that long since talk therapy was the only option for
therapeutic intervention in mental health issues. In the late eighties,
early nineties, some other methods were discovered, that anecdotally
seemed to show great promise, and now scientific studies have
validated their efficacy. One of those is EMDR, or Eye Movement
Desensitization and Reprocessing. Discovered by Francine Shapiro,
EMDR technique relies on bilateral stimulation, while the patient/
client is focusing on the traumatic event.
There has also been a major growth in understanding the brain and
how it works, which in turn has helped explain the relevant aspects
of these new methods. Bilateral stimulation, making sure both sides
of the brain are engaged, is the important part of the formula. This is
done through eye movements, or listening to sounds in alternate ears,
or feeling touch on alternate sides, such as the hands or knees.
There is a three-pronged approach to EMDR that focuses initially on
the distressing event, then to the current circumstances that trigger
repeated reactions, and lastly involves a future focus to enable the
client to skillfully adapt to new situations.
I had one client who processed a date rape. Lets call her Annette.
Annette was in her forties, and now that she had finished having

Workplace Conflict
Gail Lynch, BPE, HRMC
“A state of discord caused by actual or perceived opposition of
needs, values and interests between people working together”
— Wikipedia
It has been estimated that managers spend at least 25% of their time
resolving workplace conflicts. A recent study done among 9 countries
found that on the average staff spend 2.1 hours per week dealing with
workplace conflict. That is 1 day per month and a total of 12 days per
year!
The top causes of workplace conflict are; personality clashes; stress;
workload pressures; poor leadership from the top; lack of openness
and honesty; poor line management; and lack of clarity or role and
accountabilities.
Conflict is unavoidable and is a regular part of doing business.
Conflict rarely resolves itself, in fact, conflict normally escalates if not
dealt with promptly and properly. Unresolved conflict results in lost
productivity, increased absenteeism/presenteeism, loss of creativity
and barriers to collaboration.
“The void created by the failure to communicate is soon filled with
poison, drivel and misrepresentation”
— C. Northcote Parkinson
Handling and resolving workplace conflicts that arise in the workplace
is one of the biggest challenges managers and employees face. There
are typically two responses to conflict; run away (most often chosen)
or battle it out. These responses are rarely if ever effective in resolving
the conflict to the satisfaction of all parties involved.
There are a number of approaches that can be taken to effectively
resolve workplace conflict. Communication, style and approach are
dependent on the specifics of the situation and the people involved
in the conflict. Resolution can normally be found if there is a sincere
desire to do so. Having difficult conversations is not easy, however, it
is essential for healthy and productive workplaces.

children, was becoming uninterested in any intimate relations with her
husband. In explaining her problem, she casually mentioned this date
rape. We started looking at this more closely, and then used EMDR
to process it. Annette was amazed at how much she had repressed of
the experience, and equally amazed at how easily it came up when we
were doing the eye movement stimulation. Her feelings of disgust and
revulsion were prominent, as were the feelings that it must have been
her fault, and she should have been more proactive in trying to stop
it. During the process Annette realized that she had protected herself
and made her own safety a priority. After just one session, she felt
‘lighter’ and more like laughing. At her next session she said she felt
closer to her husband and that they were ‘getting along better than
ever’. Working through her feelings of disgust and guilt, was all it took
to get her back on track.
Another client came seeking help after hitting a deer. He was driving
at dusk, and saw a deer come out of the trees and slowed down, but not
enough to avoid hitting the third one! No-one in the car was injured,
but the deer was killed. There was also considerable damage to the car.
The police took 45 minutes to come, by which time he had determined
that he could drive the car home, and take it to a collision repair place in
the morning. He said the policeman was very comforting and efficient,
and the one thing that stuck in his mind was that he was asked if he
would like the carcass of the deer. Somewhat horrified, he said no, at
which point the policeman told him that was OK and it would be gone
in the morning as someone would come and take it.
He had suffered whiplash, but recovered within a few months with
physio and exercises, but now, 12 months later, he was having
nightmares, and images of the deer kept intruding into his every
activity. We used EMDR to process the memory of the accident, and
it turned out that the part of the trauma that he was having most trouble
with was his guilt over killing the deer. It took us two sessions to clear
this, and he was very relieved.
EMDR is a very powerful method for working with traumatic events.
Multiple traumas take time as there is so much to process, but even so,
it is dramatically faster that simply ‘talk’ therapy. Most clients need at
least an hour and a half to process one image of an event, and a course
of treatment over one complicated issue takes eight to fifteen sessions.
It does not suit all clients, but for those who find it works for them, it
becomes a soothing and peaceful practice.
