What is EMDR?
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain reprocess traumatic or distressing memories so they no longer cause emotional reactivity.
Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR uses structured protocols and bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements or tapping) to reduce the emotional intensity of painful memories without needing to rehash every detail.
EMDR is backed by decades of research and is recommended by the World Health Organization and Australian Psychological Society for treating PTSD and trauma.
EMDR May Help With:
• PTSD and complex trauma
• Childhood neglect or abuse
• Car accidents or sudden loss
• Anxiety and panic
• Grief and guilt
• Emotional numbness or shutdown
• Flashbacks and nightmares
• Low self-worth tied to past events
