Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), is a Medicare approved focused psychological strategy that is offered through this service in clinic.  

EMDR is a specific psychotherapy approach that helps individuals process and recover from traumatic experiences or other forms of psychological distress.  

EMDR uses bilateral stimulation that activates the central nervous system's innate adaptive information processing system.  

Rapid eye movements that mimic how our eye's behave in REM sleep is the preferred method of bilateral stimulation.  EMDR enables the brain to reprocess distressing memories, reducing their emotional intensity and allowing for healthier or more adaptive thinking patterns. This method is particularly effective for treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and can also benefit individuals dealing with anxiety, phobias, and other emotional disturbances by promoting adaptive healing and emotional resilience.  EMDR is also helpful with particularly painful and traumatic grief experiences. 

If you thinking about embarking in treatment and you're curious about EMDR, I would be delighted to discuss this with you to see if this is the right treatment pathway.  

Please feel free to call me 0402 998 830.

If you are recovering from trauma, I am in awe of your bravery and I would be delighted to treat you.
