Trauma Therapy

I believe in the inherent resilience of individuals; that the mind possesses a natural inclination towards healing and restoration, even in the face of overwhelming distress. Healing is not about erasing the past but rather about fostering adaptive integration, empowering individuals to move forward with greater resilience and wholeness.

What is EMDR Therapy?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

  • It's primarily used to treat individuals with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other trauma-related conditions.

  • EMDR involves bilateral stimulation, typically through eye movements, hand taps, or sounds, while the client focuses on distressing memories or thoughts.

  • The process aims to facilitate the brain's natural healing mechanisms, allowing traumatic memories to be processed and integrated more adaptively.

  • EMDR consists of several phases, including history-taking, preparation, assessment, desensitization, installation of positive beliefs, and closure.

  • Research suggests that EMDR can be effective in reducing symptoms of PTSD and other trauma-related disorders.
