Reading here reminded me of how intrigued I was with Sir Fracis Bacon’s works when we studied them in grad school. While reading there, I came across this overview:
Book II of the Advancement of Learning and Books II to IX of the De Augments Scientarium contain an unprecedentedly thorough and detailed systematization of the whole range of human knowledge. Bacon begins with a distinction of three faculties—memory, imagination, and reason—to which are respectively assigned history, “poesy,” and philosophy.
Would anyone be interested in taking 4 Sunday afternoons, during Lent, to read and discuss Sir Francis Bacon’s doctrine regarding “Idols of the Mind” and some of his thoughts on rhetoric, reasoning, judgment, and learning? Focusing, as the above suggests, on Book II, §81ff of Advancement of Learning, Novum Organum Book I, §50ff, and a couple essays I’ve written?
See the works of Bacon here [Bartleby.com]
and my RhetoricRing.com page on Rhetorical Reasoning [here]
Let me know if you’re interested.

Managing EMDR the certification requirements: are there advice on the procedure as well as prerequisites?
Embarking on the journey to turn into a certified Eye Movement Desensitizing and Reprocessing therapist entails prudent assessment of the certification system and its correlated requirements. This discussion intends to present inspiration into guiding the path to the point of EMDR certification.
To start with and chiefly, eager EMDR therapists must experience exhaustive training from an authorized EMDR training academy. These training curricula typically consist of both expository coursework and supervised clinical sessions, ensuring therapists develop the necessary abilities to practice EMDR effectively.
In the wake of the completion of training, therapists are compelled to accrue a specified amount of clinical hours conducting EMDR therapy therapy under supervision. This hands-on expertise is crucial for honing medicinal skills and utilizing Eye Movement Desensitizing and Reprocessing techniques in real-world settings.
Upon the training and clinical requirements are met, therapists can then pursue EMDR therapy certification through organizations such as the EMDR treatment International Association (EMDRIA). Certification involves submitting documentation of training and clinical experience, achieving an EMDR competency examination, and adhering to ethical guidelines set forth by the endorsing body.
While the certification procedure may sound daunting, obtaining EMDR certification represents a significant milestone in a therapist’s career, displaying their commitment to delivering high-quality trauma-focused care to their clients.
