Therapy & Me

EMDR – (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence based method that is widely accepted in the field of trauma treatments and regarded as an effective, structured, time effective treatment.

At time of its development EMDR was utilized to treat PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) but over time it proved its efficiency in cases of Anxiety, Depression, OCD, different Phobias, Attachment wound, chronic pain and distressing life events. EMDR utilizes “dual attention” in a form of Bilateral Stimulation (BLS) that can be visual, tactile or auditory.

These stimuli support the Brain to reprocess “move” memories out of their “stuck” state. With EMDR these memories (feelings, thoughts, body sensations) get reintegrated together with positive, strengthening, adaptive responses. The result is usually a reduction in the vividness and emotion associated with the trauma memories.

The World Health Organization (WHO), Veteran Affairs of Canada, the American Psychological Association and the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies recognized EMDR as aneffective treatment.
