EMDR
Eye movement desensitisation reprocessing

EMDR is a wonderful unblocking therapy.  It’s different from other therapies where you do lots of talking, it does of course include talking but there’s also some doing. 

 

The doing takes the form of eye movements by the therapist which allows the brain to unlock stuck traumatic memories and allow them to be processed. You won’t lose the memories altogether but the aim is to remove the heat and distress associated with them. 

​

We use the metaphor of being on a train – I will ask you to stay with it, which is whatever is coming up in your mind, in your body, sensations, and thoughts. 

​

EMDR can have a ripple effect and can take you to different places in your mind and memories – this is ok.  There is no right or wrong way with EMDR. 

 

I will support you throughout, and remember this is your journey but I am absolutely with you alongside you on this journey.  If you have any questions please do ask.
