There is no difference in the symptoms of PTSD and delayed-onset PTSD. Complex PTSD describes personality changes you experience after ongoing trauma, such as abuse. You may: EMDR helps the symptoms of PTSD. You will make eye movements while thinking about the traumatic event. Therapists think that this works by making your brain deal with painful memories in a different way. A core part of our programme also works with teachers to build the foundational knowledge to do what they do best: securing the best outcomes for their students. Over an 8-week period, Bloom Associate Trainers work alongside teachers to support and train them in the course content and the application of our easy-to-use teaching resources. While this course content is relevant for any coach or leader, we see many learners coming from roles in healthcare, social care and therapies. With the added emphasis on wellbeing and mental health in organisations, we now also see leaders and executive coaches also adding to their skillset in this space.
