EMDR

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. Initially designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories, EMDR has evolved into a comprehensive approach that addresses a range of psychological issues. By focusing on the way memories are stored in the brain, EMDR aims to help clients process and integrate traumatic experiences more effectively. This therapy is particularly beneficial for individuals who have experienced distressing life experiences and disturbing events.

EMDR has been shown to be effective for a variety of conditions, including:

  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

  • Anxiety and panic attacks

  • Depression

  • Phobias

  • Grief and loss

  • Stress-related issues

  • Addictions

  • Chronic pain

A typical EMDR therapy session lasts from 60-90 minutes. EMDR therapy may be used within a standard talking therapy, as an adjunctive therapy with a separate therapist, or as a treatment all by itself.
