EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) Therapy in Melbourne
Sometimes our difficult experiences lead to ongoing emotional distress and may not be adequately processed without additional help. Increased levels of stress can sometimes interfere with the brains capacity to process information effectively and can change the neurological linkage in the brain.
Let us help you process trauma so the brain is no longer reacting as if it is still in trauma
Evidence based therapy for treatment of PTSD, anxiety, OCD, chronic pain, addictions and phobias, allowing you to reprocess traumatic memories and promote integration and less vulnerability to future triggers. Research shows it is highly effective and one of the most effective trauma treatments.
What is EMDR
EMDR allows the brain to process traumatic memories and allow the brain to heal.
There are 8 phases to the treatment, including:
Client preparation/history taking
Preparation
Assessment
Desensitization
Installation
Body scan
Closure and debriefing
Re-evaluation of treatment effect
EMDR is less reliant on cognitive language to articulate trauma.
It allows you to:
Identify the memory and associated negative
Patients are guided through a series of rapid eye movements to process small chunks of memory to promote safety and meaning
Beliefs (e.g., safety, value, worthiness, ongoing triggers leading to distress associated with the event)
Identify distress related to target memory
Process and release traumatic memories
The intervention involves focussing on present whilst accessing events that have happened in the past
Develop adaptive coping strategies
Promote integration and optimal well being
