What is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR therapy (eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing) is an effective method of psychotherapy that helps people recover from trauma and other distress.
Unlike other types of psychotherapy, you won’t do lots of talking in detail about your trauma in an EMDR session. Instead, EMDR therapy focusses on changing the thoughts, emotions and reaction you have to that trauma or distress. As a result, you can forge new associations with previously traumatic memories.

EMDR for Trauma
An EMDR therapy session can help you to access and reprocess traumatic memories. You may find talking about your trauma difficult, so EMDR is a good alternative to traditional Psychotherapy sessions.
Your brain already has the tools to recover from traumatic events. But you may find that images or memories of such events cause you to freeze or panic. An EMDR therapist can help you to reprocess those memories and create new associations. As a result, you will still remember the trauma, but your negative response will be resolved.
EMDR for PTSD
Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) has been found to reduce the symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in many patients. So, book a free 15 minute chat to see if it’s right for you.

EMDR for OCD

EMDR for phobias
EMDR is an effective treatment for trauma and therefore phobias too. Most phobias are caused by some sort of trauma in the past. As a result, people can develop irrational fears that stay with them for life. EMDR therapy has been shown to be effective when used as a treatment for phobias.

What to expect during an EMDR therapy session
The principle of EMDR therapy is to process traumatic experiences that are causing problems and to insert new experiences to resolve them.
The client will be asked to focus on a specific event. Focussing their attention on a negative image, belief, emotion, and body feeling related to this event, and then to a positive alternative that would resolve the issue.
While the client focuses on the trauma, they are guided to begin side-to-side eye movements, sounds, or taps. Before being asked to notice what comes to mind after each set.
The client has full control to stop the therapy at any point. This process is repeated until the trauma becomes less traumatic.
