EMDR Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)
Service Description
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy EMDR is a highly effective therapy developed by Francine Shapiro over 30 years ago. While relatively new in mainstream practice, it has become a leading approach for treating trauma and a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges in both children and adults. When we experience something traumatic, our brain and body react instinctively to protect us. However, instead of being processed like normal memories, these distressing experiences can become "stuck" in the brain in their raw, unprocessed form. This can lead to intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, nightmares, and emotional outbursts. These unresolved memories may also make it difficult to manage everyday stress in a calm and rational way. EMDR helps the brain unlock and reprocess these traumatic memories, allowing them to be stored as ordinary past experiences rather than triggering emotional distress. This can lead to lasting relief from trauma-related symptoms and improved emotional well-being. To find out if EMDR therapy is right for you, contact us at enquiries@collywobblesltd.com to arrange an assessment.
