EMDR Therapy in London

Kove offers EMDR Therapy. EMDR can help relieve the fear, shame, loss of control, and other emotions that result from trauma. Your traumatic memories become integrated with a positive sense of self, so they no longer cause you distress.

During EMDR treatment, you’ll revisit traumatic memories while your conscious mind is occupied with bilateral stimulation – a visual, auditory or tactile stimulus that crosses the body in a rhythmic left to right pattern. 

Understanding EMDR Therapy

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and it’s a therapeutic technique designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories.

This innovative approach has gained immense popularity in London for its effectiveness in treating conditions such as PTSD, anxiety, and depression.

How Does EMDR Therapy Work?

At its core, EMDR Therapy in London is about processing distressing memories and transforming them into manageable narratives. During a session, a trained therapist guides the patient through a series of bilateral stimulation, often involving eye movements or tactile sensations. This process enables the brain to reprocess traumatic memories, making them less emotionally charged.
