This allows you to free yourself from the pain that may have been associated, effectively allowing you to heal from the mental pain inflicted by the memory.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8113\" src=\"https:\/\/www.junabrookes.co.uk\/staging\/5147\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/karsten-winegeart-W3FIaYKNxGQ-unsplash-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"road\" width=\"409\" height=\"614\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>How to Use EMDR for Phobias and Irrational Fears<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps you are aware that you may have a phobia or irrational fear. If this is the case for you, EMDR may be one of the best ways to help you come out on top! This is because EMDR does more than just give you coping mechanisms; it actually gets to the core root of the problem and rectifies things.<\/p>\n<p>Phobias such as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.junabrookes.co.uk\/staging\/5147\/the-fear-of-flying-and-how-emdr-can-help\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fear of flying<\/a> are often based on traumatic or difficult past experiences, and leaving these unaddressed can allow an irrational fear to develop. It can also be used to help resolve other difficulties, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.junabrookes.co.uk\/staging\/5147\/social-anxiety-how-can-emdr-therapy-help\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social anxiety<\/a>, which in turn can leave you feeling out of place in specific situations (which gives the potential for an irrational fear to develop).<\/p>\n<p>By allowing your brain to reprocess the events that initially may have triggered your phobias to develop, EMDR then allows you to begin working through the memories and the resulting symptoms they can trigger. This is achieved by connecting your limbic system and prefrontal cortex while reprocessing the memories to help instil a feeling of comfort and safety, rather than having these memories bring up pain and panic. Don\u2019t worry; your EMDR therapist will be able to help you through this process if you\u2019re not sure how to tackle it yourself.<\/p>\n<p>EMDR isn\u2019t necessarily a two-minute process, but it\u2019s often one of the most effective options for the treatment of phobias and irrational fears.
