EMDR

EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) is a special therapeutic technique that can be a very powerful treatment for people who have experienced trauma or are struggling with other distressing conditions.

EMDR to the rescue for PTSD

If you had traumatic experiences in your life you might have symptoms of PTSD.  EMDR is a very effective way of treating PTSD symptoms.  Book a discovery session to see how it can help you.

What is EMDR?

This form of therapy is based on research implying that traumatic events can prevent the brain from processing information as it normally does, which results in these events getting “stuck” in the brain’s information processing hub. Then, when someone who experienced a trauma recalls it, the memory triggers an intense recall of the original event, complete with all its upsetting sights, sounds, smells, thoughts, and feelings. New incidents can have the same effect.


EMDR therapy uses eye movements or other alternate hemisphere stimulation to remove the emotional charges of traumatic memories. Researchers believe the therapy activates mechanisms in the brain that help you process the memory and distressing emotions.   (AmenClinics)

What are the benefits of EMDR?

Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing can help people recover from trauma as well as other distressing conditions. EMDR treatment is focused on the rapid processing of information about a negative experience and movement toward an adaptive resolution. 


When EMDR is successful, a person can understand, both consciously in their mind and unconsciously in the physical functioning of their brain, that the event is in the past and no longer a threat. 


This means that there is a decrease in distress, a shift away from the negative belief to a more positive one.  It is often used with people who suffer from post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a lasting emotional response to severe trauma that changes the nervous system.

“The brain health revolution starts with you.”

What to Expect with EMDR Therapy?

EMDR is different from other types of therapy.  It doesn’t require talking to great lengths about distressing events or issues, which many people find difficult to do. Instead, EMDR therapies enhance brain function to help the healing process. EMDR therapy involves a few phases which include looking at memories from the past, current triggers, and skills and behaviours that can help you in the future.
