What is EMDR?
EMDR helps the brain process and make sense of distressing memories so that they no longer feel as vivid or overwhelming. It can give much needed relief from previous traumatic event and help people to move on from these events
It can be highly effective for:
Traumatic or Distressing Experiences
Flashbacks and Intrusive Memories
Anxiety Linked to Past Events
Feelings of being stuck in the past
Road Traffic acccidents, Bullying, Past Abuse, Low Self-Esteem
What is an EMDR session like?
EMDR utilises the natural healing ability of your body. After a thorough assessment and development of a treatment plan, you will be asked specific questions about a particular disturbing memory. Eye movements, similar to those that happen during REM sleep or the stage of sleep when we are dreaming, will be recreated simply by asking you to watch the therapist's finger moving backwards and forwards across your visual field. Sometimes, a bar of moving lights or headphones is used instead.
The eye movements will last for a short while and then stop. You will then be asked to report back on the experiences you have had during each of these sets of eye movements. Experiences during a session may include changes in thoughts, images and feelings. With repeated sets of eye movements, the memory tends to change in such a way that it loses its painful intensity and simply becomes a neutral memory of an event in the past. Other associated memories may also heal at the same time. This linking of related memories can lead to a dramatic and rapid improvement in many aspects of your life.
