Empowering You to Achieve Happiness

Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence based treatment which ulocks unprocessed memories, releases the painful emotions and sensations allowing the brain to let go of limiting beliefs. 

When we have 'unprocessed' or 'stuck' traumatic memories from the past, they often impact how we react to things that happen now in the present, sometimes without us even realising.  

EMDR is best known for its effectiveness in treating Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). It is widely used by the NHS, charitable organisations and private sector. EMDR can also be used to help treat a variety of mental health issues like depression or anxiety, especially where a difficult life event has been involved. It can be extremely helpful for those who have experienced or witnessed an event like a car accident, a violent crime, sexual or emotional abuse, bullying, a social humiliation, or the sudden loss of a loved one and are struggling to recover. EMDR is suitable for adults, young people and children. 

When a traumatic event takes place, the body can be overwhelmed and in turn be unable to process the memory adequately. 

EMDR therapy can help you process these traumatic memories, reducing the impact of these and helping to embed healthier coping mechanisms. The eight phase approach looks to address the past, present, and future aspect of stored memory. This involves recalling a distressing while receiving 'bilateral sensory input'.
