Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing(EMDR)
EMDR Therapy is a unique and powerful form of psychotherapy designed to help you overcome a wide range of emotional and psychological issues. It operates on the principle that the brain has a natural ability to heal itself, but sometimes traumatic memories can disrupt this process. EMDR works by reprocessing these memories so they no longer negatively impact your life. This therapy is effective for conditions like trauma, anxiety, depression, phobias, and OCD, offering relief without requiring you to discuss your experiences in detail or do extensive homework between sessions.
This evidence-based therapy targets specific stuck memories that replay in your mind or alter your self-perception. EMDR has been extensively researched and is endorsed by organisations like the World Health Organisation, the American Psychiatric Association, and Phoenix Australia. It has been used successfully for over 30 years. By facilitating communication between different parts of the brain, EMDR helps restore the natural healing process, leading to lasting relief from symptoms and helping you move forward with your life.
"The brain can heal itself. That's the most
exciting thing about EMDR."
