Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)
A structured psychological therapy often used to help people process distressing experiences and traumatic memories.
What is EMDR?
EMDR uses a phased approach that includes assessment, preparation and carefully guided processing of memories while engaging in bilateral stimulation.
It is commonly considered for post-traumatic stress symptoms. A suitably trained clinician will assess your needs and readiness before treatment.
Treatment starts with a full history and preparation. A therapist then guides processing at an appropriate pace, with grounding and review throughout.
