EMDR Therapy
Eye movement desensitization
and reprocessing (EMDR) is a Department of Health recommended
form of psychotherapy specifically designed to help when someone
has been involved in a traumatic event. When we suffer a traumatic
experience it can overwhelm our brain and we become unable to
fully process this information, resulting in a disturbing memory
affecting us long after it occurred. By using eye movements
or other rhythmical stimulation, EMDR kick-starts and speeds
up the brain’s natural healing process and so can lead
to the alleviation of distress. EMDR should not be confused
with hypnotherapy; rather, it is a client-led therapy and so
always remains under the control of the client.
EMDR is suitable for
the treatment of the following conditions:
· Trauma (resulting from accidents, disasters and emotional
distress)
· Bereavement
· Depression
· Phobias
· Chronic pain
· Abuse (verbal, physical and sexual)
· Self-esteem issues
· Performance enhancement
