EMDR
What Is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR is an evidence based psychotherapy that is proven to be an effective treatment of trauma. It can also be integrated into other treatments for anxiety, phobias, grief, panic disorder or other symptoms with a trauma component.
EMDR helps you to process distressing thoughts, emotions and sensations through completing a series of phases, some involving bilateral stimulation (eye movements or tapping), where you identify the most distressing aspect of your memory and the associated negative belief this has given you about yourself.
