Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. EMDR is a specialised therapeutic approach that has been extensively researched and proven effective for resolving traumatic life events.
How does EMDR work?
The goal of EMDR Therapy is to process distressing memories, thereby allowing us to move into the future with healthy adaptive coping skills, no longer defined by the legacy of the past. EMDR changes the way the brain processes information and experiences, leading to profound and lasting change.
What is EMDR?
Following EMDR treatment we can still recall past events, but they are no longer disturbing or upsetting. EMDR enables trauma to be remembered rather than re-lived.
Dr. Elise Sloan
The provision of EMDR requires specialised clinical training and accreditation. Dr Elise Sloan is currently the only psychologist at Aruna Psychology who is an accredited EMDR practitioner.
