EMDR Psychotherapy

What is EMDR therapy? 

EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is an internationally recognized and well-researched form of mental health therapy that aids in trauma recovery from distressing life experiences. These may include painful memories, upsetting experiences, disturbing images, or individuals who scare you—whether real or imagined—as well as difficult situations from your past, present, or projected future. EMDR therapy is particularly well-known for its effectiveness in treating PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). 

When someone experiences a traumatic or emotionally charged event, the intensity of that experience typically fades over time, and individuals often manage to cope. However, there are instances when a particular memory resurfaces, bringing along painful emotional distress. This occurs when a memory has not been fully processed. 

It's natural to avoid thinking about distressing experiences, but if they remain unprocessed in the brain, they can be easily triggered by certain images, smells, sounds, or even tastes, leading to flashbacks and panic attacks. 

This is where EMDR therapy proves to be beneficial. 

Benefits: 

Through EMDR therapy, you are likely to experience a significant reduction in distress associated with your traumatic experiences, decreased anxiety that can accompany such distress, and an improvement in your self-esteem and perception of past events. Many individuals also report a strong sense of relief and a newfound contentment within themselves. 

Please note: 

You should be prepared to attend regular sessions and budget for a minimum of 6-10 sessions. Depending on the difficulties you are addressing, EMDR therapy may require a long-term financial commitment. There is no definitive way to predict how long your EMDR therapy will take to complete.
