Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) is the Department of Health recommended treatment for clients suffering distress after involvement in a traumatic event. When traumatic experiences overwhelm our brains, we become unable to fully process this information, resulting in highly emotionally charged memories affecting us long after the event has occurred. By using EMDR it is possible to alleviate any upset connected to the memory. EMDR is not hypnotherapy.
