Find Relief Through EMDR Therapy in London
What is EMDR?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is an integrative psychotherapy approach backed by over 30 years of research proving its efficacy. It incorporates elements of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic, interpersonal, experiential and body-centered therapies to help clients rapidly process memories and stored emotional energy that underlie current psychological distress.
Unlike traditional talk therapies, EMDR utilizes bilateral stimulation like eye movements, taps or tones, which activates the brain's natural processing systems. As you attend to this external stimulus, your mind is able to forge new neural connections that desensitize the memory of emotional trauma. Most clients report the eye movements used in sessions provide a sense of calmness and clarity, allowing emotional wounds to truly heal.

Benefits of EMDR According to the Mayo Clinic, EMDR therapy has successfully treated individuals suffering with:
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Anxiety and panic disorders
- Depression
- Phobias
- Chronic pain
- Grief and complicated losses
- Eating disorders
- Addictions
- PTSD related to military combat, sexual assault, accidents, disasters and other trauma
The biggest benefit of EMDR is its ability to rapidly resolve symptoms resulting from disturbing life experiences. It allows your brain and body to digest frozen trauma, releasing the fight-or-flight charge associated with the event. This enables you to gain control over dysfunctional emotions, thoughts and behaviors stemming from the issue.
Another advantage is EMDR doesn’t require you to retell distressing stories in order for physiological shifts to occur. You can attend to the bilateral stimulus while briefly recalling fragments of core memories. This spares you the emotional pain of revisiting traumatic events in extensive detail.
