EMDR

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy that helps you process and recover from past experiences that are affecting your mental health and wellbeing.

EMDR works by tapping into your brain’s natural ability to heal itself.  Our brain processes new information all the time and when something traumatic occurs those natural processes can become overwhelmed or overloaded. The traumatic memories can then become stuck or stored in a way that distresses us when we think or are reminded of them.


What to expect

EMDR has a specific structure where we will work through several stages in the process. These include assessment of your current symptoms and your readiness for EMDR, as well as understanding how your past has shaped your present.

It involves using side-to-side eye movements, or alternatively hand tapping, combined with talk therapy in a specific and structured format.
