“Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything”

George Bernard Shaw

Eye Movement & Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR is a recommended approach by the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE). This approach was originally developed (Shapiro) for processing trauma memories (PTSD); symptoms of which include a. re-experiencing (nightmares/flashbacks/recurrent dreaming), b. negative cognitions (‘I should have done something/it’s my fault’), c. arousal (anger/irritation/lack of concentration/feeling jumpy), d. avoidance (reminders of the trauma/certain people/talking about your experiences).

More recently EMDR is being recognised to treat other difficulties (for e.g. depression/anxiety/OCD/performance anxiety/phobias/anxiety/low self-esteem/pain management).

The benefits of EMDR have included

  1. reduction in trauma memories,
  2. reduced anger and irritability,
  3. ability to engage in social/family activities,
  4. improved self-confidence.

Most importantly clients advise me that

“I/my family have got my old self back; thank you”
