What is EMDR Therapy?
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapeutic approach designed to help individuals process and heal from trauma and distressing experiences. EMDR combines elements of cognitive-behavioural therapy with bilateral stimulation, typically through guided eye movements, to facilitate memory processing.
Eye-Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing Therapy
How EMDR Works
EMDR works by guiding clients through a structured eight-phase process. The therapist helps the client identify specific traumatic memories and associated negative beliefs. Through bilateral stimulation, often using guided eye movements, the therapy reduces the emotional charge linked to these memories. Clients are encouraged to instil positive beliefs that counteract their previous negative thoughts while processing any physical sensations associated with the trauma.
Who Can Benefit from EMDR?
EMDR is beneficial for clients who have experienced trauma from events such as physical or emotional abuse, accidents, military combat, loss, or chronic illness. It is particularly effective for alleviating symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other anxiety-related conditions.
What to Expect in EMDR Therapy
During EMDR therapy, clients can expect a supportive environment. Although exploring distressing memories may be challenging, the goal is to empower clients to reclaim their narrative. Sessions typically last 60 to 90 minutes, with the number of sessions varying based on individual needs.
