How to tell if EMDR is suitable for you?

First of all, it is essential to ensure that EMDR is the proper treatment for you. Some people find it helpful, while others do not. It is also necessary to be aware that EMDR therapy can be pretty intense and emotional.

  • Do you experience too much emotional pain from your past and it’s making you feel trapped?
  • Have you been through an extremely hard separation or divorce, and it has left a bitter aftertaste in your life?
  • Have you had a traumatic event that you just cannot seem to shift out of your mind?
  • Do you have unresolved bereavement, grief, or a sense of deep sadness that you cannot shift?
  • Have you experienced trauma in your childhood or teenage years?
  • Do you suffer from PTSD?

If you answered yes to any of these questions then EMDR therapy is the best solution for you.

It is also important to note that EMDR treatment is not a quick fix. It takes time and commitment to see results. However, for many people, the benefits of EMDR therapy are worth the effort.

How do I use EMDR?

You might feel that you need a helping hand and someone to guide you on how to make the step forward that you need and to help you to let go of the past.

In my practice I use the combination of EMDR skills, hypnotherapy, and guided imagery in order to facilitate the process of your recovery:

  • Stronger
  • Faster
  • Have a long-lasting effect

In my opinion, the combination of these three therapies above brings the best possible results for my clients.

How can EMDR help people with anxiety or PTSD?

In dealing with anxiety and PTSD, eye movement desensitization can help reprocess and reframe the negative thoughts and beliefs associated with the trauma.

For example, if you were mugged, you may have a negative belief about yourself, such as “I am not safe” or “I am not good enough to defend myself.”

EMDR therapy can help you replace these negative beliefs with more positive and empowering ones. Through EMDR, traumatic memories can turn into ordinary memories. It can lead to a reduction in the symptoms of anxiety and PTSD.

What is EMDR?

EMDR is an abbreviation for Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing. EMDR therapy aims to help people reprocess and deal with a disturbing event or traumatic memory. The therapist will ask you to focus on specific thoughts, images, or sensations while they move their fingers back and forth in front of your face.

It is thought to help the brain process memories differently, reducing the symptoms of anxiety and depression.

EMDR treatment is not just for people who have experienced trauma. It can also help people who suffer from anxiety and depression.

What is Anxiety and Depression?

Anxiety and depression are two of the most common mental health conditions globally. They can cause a wide range of symptoms, making everyday life very difficult to cope with.

Some of the most common symptoms of anxiety and depression include:

  • feeling sad or down all the time
  • feeling anxious or worried all the time
  • loss of interest in activities that used to be enjoyable
  • difficulty sleeping or insomnia
  • changes in appetite, which can lead to weight gain or weight loss
  • fatigue and low energy

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is essential to seek help.

What to expect in an EMDR Session with a Therapist?

An EMDR session usually lasts for 60-90 minutes. During this time, the therapist will ask you to focus on specific thoughts, images, or sensations while they move their fingers back and forth in front of your face.

You may also be asked to hold particular objects in each hand, such as a buzzer or a small ball.

The therapist will also guide you through different eye movements, side-to-side or up-and-down. These movements are thought to help the brain process memories in another way, which can reduce the symptoms of anxiety and depression.
