EMDR is a type of psychotherapy designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic memories.
How does it work?
EMDR involves guided eye movements or other forms of what is called “bilateral stimulation”. This assists in reprocessing your distressing memories, aiming to reduce the impact they have on your mental health.
It is particularly effective for treating conditions such as post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and any phobias.
How is it structured?
The therapy typically involves several phases, including:
- history-taking
- preparation
- assessment
- desensitization
- installation

- closure, and
- reevaluation.
EMDR is recognized for its ability to help you heal from trauma and emotional distress, in a safe and effective manner.
