EMDR - Trauma Therapy for all ages
The Impact of Trauma
Trauma, whether from a single event or repeated experiences in childhood can leave a lasting imprint on the mind and body. This often shows up as a mix of emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms that may seem unrelated, confusing, or difficult to manage. Many people receive different health diagnoses without realising that the underlying cause is unresolved trauma and the nervous system dysregulation that comes with it.
Many individuals with a history of trauma have received a number of different mental and physical health diagnoses without any awareness that their symptoms are related to the impact of the original trauma and the associated dysregulated nervous system that develops as a result.
EMDR
EMDR is a powerful, evidence-based therapy recommended by both the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and the World Health Organisation (WHO) for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Unlike traditional talk therapies, EMDR doesn’t require you to go into detail about the trauma itself. Instead, it helps you process the difficult emotions, thoughts, and body sensations that stem from those experiences.
In an EMDR session, you are guided to focus on a particular trauma related memory or feeling while also engaging in bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements or tapping). This process helps the brain to reprocess the memory in a new, more functional way, so it no longer triggers overwhelming reactions. Over time, the intensity of the distress reduces, and you’re able to respond to life with greater calm, resilience, and freedom.
Research has shown EMDR can also be highly effective for difficulties beyond trauma, including anxiety, phobias, addictions, and complicated grief.
If you are living with the effects of trauma or struggling with persistent emotional difficulties, EMDR offers a structured, compassionate, and lasting path towards recovery.
