EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a type of therapy that has been highly effective in treating many mental health conditions, including trauma, anxiety, depression, and phobias. EMDR uses eye movements to stimulate the brain's natural healing process and help individuals process and integrate traumatic experiences.

During EMDR therapy, the therapist guides the client through eye movements while focusing on a traumatic experience. This process can help to reduce the intensity of negative emotions and thoughts associated with the trauma and increase feelings of safety and control.

EMDR is a relatively short-term therapy, typically lasting between 6 to 20 sessions. It has been shown to be as effective as, or more effective than, other forms of therapy for treating trauma and other mental health conditions.
