Hi my dd was involved in a very traumatic fatal coach crash on a school trip. A teacher was killed, she saw this, and 2 close friends were very seriously injured and are still in hospital, 1 suffering life changing injuries
We have been obviously concentrating on her physical injuries and as these are now mending well we are dealing with the psychological fallout.

She was seemingly doing ok but had a big panic attack last night telling me, dh and her grown up siblings that we don't understand what she has been through.

The school have provided counselling but she says this isn't helpful as she can't talk in a group situation.

A friend has recommended emdr and wondering if anyone has knowledge or has had this and could advise us.

She is 12. And this happened 5 weeks ago.

There's also not that many coach crashes involving children and where the children came from has been in the news.

This lady is fabulous and extremely experienced. The EMDR she did with me has had results that I never expected.

I just assumed it was the Alvechurch Crash as the teacher had died.

I will PM you with the details

thebody · 06/04/2012 21:12

Sorry I think I might have caused confusion by asking a poster why she thought you were in the West Midlands. I had of course heard about the Alvechurch coach crash but didn't connect the two things. I live very near to you thebody which is why I was asking about the West Midlands. Madmouse's lady does seem very highly qualified, but practices in Coventry or Stratford, so not that close really, but worth it if necessary I think. Doesn't say anything about her work with children though.
