EMDR Therapy
EMDR (eye movement desensitisation & reprocessing). Experiencing single traumatic events or many traumatic events can cause problems to our nervous systems and we can feel depressed, anxious, we may have panic attacks, we may feel we on hyper-alert to danger, we have flashbacks, intrusive thoughts and nightmares. These can be debilitating and effect work, relationships, social and private lives.
EMDR is a well researched psychological treatment. It is designed in a way to support you to build up many psychological skills. So, as an EMDR Practitioner, I support you to:
-
desensitise the emotional charge so that the memory no longer triggers a difficult reaction
-
reprocess the memory so that it feels as though it is in the past.
-
regulate your emotions
-
manage symptoms of anxiety
-
build confidence
-
understand how your mind and body work and how they can calm and relax
-
build emotional resilience
-
rescript negative beliefs & build positive beliefs
