EMDR Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing
What is EMDR Therapy?
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful, evidence-based therapy specifically designed to help people process and heal from traumatic experiences. Developed in the late 1980s, EMDR has become a widely respected method for treating trauma, anxiety, PTSD, and other deeply rooted emotional difficulties. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR uses a unique approach involving guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation (like tapping) to help the brain reprocess distressing memories in a safe, controlled way.
The therapy works by stimulating both sides of the brain, allowing you to process painful memories and shift how they impact you. EMDR doesn’t erase memories but helps you reframe them, reducing their emotional charge so they no longer trigger distress or interfere with your daily life. EMDR has proven effective in creating lasting change, helping clients to move forward from past traumas with greater peace and resilience.
