EMDR Therapy
What Is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing) Therapy is a psychological treatment that has shown to be beneficial in treating psychological trauma arising from experiences such as road traffic accidents, workplace accidents, assault, childhood abuse or neglect, natural disaster and war related experiences.
It is recommended by NICE (National Institute for Clinical Excellence in the UK) for the treatment of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and recent research also suggests benefits of using EMDR in treating:
- Anxiety disorders,
- Complicated grief
- Depression
- Phobias
- Disturbing memories
Eight Phase Treatment Approach
EMDR therapy is an eight phase treatment approach which includes completing a detailed assessment, processing of the difficult memories and facing current or future situations.
During the memory processing aspects the EMDR therapist helps the client recall a disturbing event for a short while (e.g. 30 seconds) whilst simultaneously initiating bilateral stimulation that can consist of eye movements, tapping or sounds.
This enables the reprocessing of traumatic memories, with successful treatment leading to memories becoming less intense and distressing and client’s psychological wellbeing significantly improving.
