EMDR Therapy in London – Heal from Trauma and Emotional Distress
What Is EMDR Therapy?
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy that helps people recover from trauma, anxiety, and distressing life experiences. Rather than talking endlessly about the past, EMDR helps the brain reprocess painful memories so they lose their emotional impact. It also confronts previous negative beliefs, allowing a transition from a negative belief (e.g., “I am not worthy”) towards a positive and constructive one (e.g., “I am worthy”).
During sessions, your therapist gently guides you through specific eye movements or tapping while recalling aspects of a difficult memory. This process helps your mind integrate the experience and restore emotional balance.
