HOW DOES EMDR WORK?

 

EMDR helps people process distressing memories, images, thoughts and feelings that may continue to trigger a strong emotional response.

 

During therapy, your therapist will guide you through a structured process while helping you remain connected to the present. EMDR does not involve hypnosis, and you remain aware of what is happening throughout the session.

 

EMDR uses bilateral stimulation, which may involve guided eye movements, tapping or other forms of alternating stimulation while particular memories or experiences are explored.

 

The aim is to help the brain process distressing material in a way that may reduce its emotional intensity and the impact it has on everyday life.

EMDR THERAPY FOR TRAUMA AND PTSD

EMDR therapy is commonly used to support people experiencing PTSD and trauma-related difficulties.

 

EMDR may also be considered for some other difficulties where distressing memories or past experiences are contributing to current symptoms. Whether EMDR is suitable will depend on the individual circumstances and clinical assessment.

 

OUR EMDR SESSIONS

 

Your therapist will work with you to identify distressing memories, thoughts, images, emotions or physical sensations that may be linked to the difficulties you are experiencing.

 

You will not usually be expected to describe every detail of a traumatic experience. The therapist will explain the process carefully and work at a pace that is appropriate for you.

 

The number of EMDR sessions required varies considerably between individuals. This may depend on the nature of the experiences being addressed, the complexity of the difficulties and how you respond to therapy.

 

Your therapist will discuss the recommended approach with you as therapy progresses.

HOW CAN EMDR HELP?

 

EMDR is commonly used to support people experiencing PTSD and trauma-related difficulties.

 

It may be particularly helpful when distressing memories, images or experiences continue to trigger anxiety, intrusive thoughts, emotional distress or physical reactions.

 

Some therapists may also use EMDR in relation to other difficulties where past experiences are contributing to current symptoms. Suitability will depend on the individual and should be discussed with the therapist.

 

The aim of EMDR is to reduce the emotional impact associated with distressing experiences and help them feel more manageable over time.

What is EMDR therapy?

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing. It is a therapy approach designed to help people process traumatic or distressing experiences in a healthier way, so that the memories feel less overwhelming and have less impact on day-to-day life.

EMDR uses a structured therapeutic process to help people work with distressing memories, thoughts, images and feelings. This usually includes bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements or alternating tapping, while the therapist helps the person process the material safely and at an appropriate pace.

EMDR is commonly used to support people experiencing PTSD and trauma-related difficulties. It may also be considered for some other difficulties where distressing past experiences are contributing to current symptoms. Suitability depends on the individual and the issues being explored in therapy.

No, you are not usually expected to talk in detail about the situation or event. The therapist will help you identify the thoughts, feelings, and images linked to the distressing experience, but the purpose of EMDR is to help you process memories safely without needing to go over every detail at length.

No, EMDR is not the same as hypnotherapy. EMDR is a structured therapy approach that focuses on processing distressing memories while keeping you grounded in the present throughout the session.

The number of EMDR sessions needed can vary depending on the person and the issues being addressed. For some people, a smaller number of sessions may be enough, while others may need longer-term work to process more complex or long-standing difficulties.

EMDR is carried out within a structured therapeutic process, with the therapist helping you remain grounded and monitoring how you are responding throughout the session.

EMDR may be helpful for people whose current distress is linked to past traumatic or upsetting experiences that still feel emotionally intense. It can be a useful option for those who want support with processing difficult memories and reducing the impact those memories have on everyday life.
