EMDR
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a highly effective therapy that helps people to recover from problems associated with trauma and difficult memories or events.
When we experience a traumatic event the memory of that event, through no fault of our own, sometimes does not get processed by the brain in the way it should, leaving behind significant pain and distress.
EMDR works to help the brain reprocess traumatic and difficult memories properly. Stopping the ongoing emotional pain and distress, improving mental wellbeing, and healing the legacy of trauma.
Whilst EMDR therapy is best known for treating PTSD it has proven beneficial for a range of difficulties including depression and anxiety.
EMDR is Internationally recognised and endorsed by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE); the World Health Organisation (WHO); and the NHS (in the UK); and many other bodies
