Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing
(EMDR)

What is EMDR Therapy?


EMDR is a highly effective psychological treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other mental health conditions. It is based on the understanding that unprocessed memories from stressful or traumatic experiences contribute to negative thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.


This evidence-based approach involves focusing on a distressing memory, along with its associated thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations, while simultaneously engaging in bilateral stimulation through guided eye movements. This process is thought to replicate the brain's natural memory processing during REM sleep, helping to reduce the emotional intensity of the memory and facilitate its integration. As traumatic memories are desensitised and reprocessed, they lose their distressing impact, becoming less vivid and intrusive. Symptoms such as nightmares and flashbacks diminish or disappear, allowing for the development of healthier, more adaptive beliefs.
