Therapy Approaches
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy
EMDR is a structured therapy that encourages the patient to focus briefly on the trauma memory while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation (typically eye movements), which is associated with a reduction in the emotional intensity associated with the trauma memories. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an extensively researched, effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma and PTSD symptoms. EMDR has also been beneficial for clients suffering from anxiety, depression, grief, substance use disorders, sleep issues and abuse.
STATS on EMDR: Shapiro and Forrest (2016) share that more than 7 million people have been treated successfully by 110,000 therapists in 130 countries since 2016.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT is used to assist individuals in identifying and changing their unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours. The CBT model helps us understand how our behaviours, thoughts, and emotions are all interconnected. We can see how our thoughts can affect our moods & emotions and also how our feelings can influence our behaviours and reactions to a situation. By changing the way we think about things or by modifying our behaviours we can often improve the way we feel. CBT is used to manage a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, anger, ADHD, and trauma.
