EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

This is an evidence based psychological therapy for PTSD and evidence is also growing for successful treament of the list following PTSD:

> Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) (Traumas resulting from abuse - sexual, physical, or verbal - rape, crime, and accidents)

> Anxiety

> Low Mood (Depression)

> Phobias

> Fears

> Stress

> Panic Attacks

> Pain Management

> Low Self Esteem 

Sessions can typically last from 60 to 90 minutes.  

The first session is usually confined to the therapist sensitively gathering information about what you are experiencing and then deciding whether or not EMDR is the right approach for you.

You are always in control of what is happening.  EMDR is not hypnotism and so you are fully aware of the process.
