What is
EMDR Therapy?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) is a deep-acting psychological treatment. It’s used to successfully overcome a range of emotional problems.
EMDR was originally used to treat post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It’s also highly successful for treating problems driven by negative life experiences. EMDR can help if you’re struggling with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, anger problems, or complex PTSD.
EMDR is recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and the NHS. It’s a form of talking therapy but works differently to other traditional styles. Going beyond the use of conversation to achieve shifts, EMDR uses mental imagery and bilateral stimulation to access subconsciously-stored life experiences that sit at the core of psychological problems. Through accessing and reprocessing dysfunctional memories in an emotionally powerful way, EMDR helps us not only to objectively see things differently, but allows changes in mindset to be felt at the emotional and physical levels too.
