EMDR
We offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing Therapy) for both Adults and Children (from age 3)
What is EMDR?
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence based therapy designed to process traumatic or distressing experiences. It is particularly effective when memories or emotions feel stuck and overwhelming.
​
EMDR uses bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements or tapping, to activate the brain’s natural healing process. This allows difficult memories to be reprocessed in a more adaptive way, reducing the intensity of the emotion and physical symptoms often linked to trauma and stress. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR does not require you to speak in detail about your past.
EMDR can be helpful for both adults and children in treating:
Depression
Anxiety Disorder
When kids receive EMDR, one of the things they do is move their eyes from one side to another while they think about the yucky things that happened to them. Most kids don’t know this, but they actually do this every night….yes kids move their eyes every night while they are asleep and are having dreams. Grown ups call this Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep cycle. We can also do other things instead of eye movement.
Parents are often involved in the process. If you would like more information, please contact us.
