EMDR therapy for trauma and distressing memories.

What it is used for

EMDR is used for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and for distressing memories that still feel present, such as after an accident, an assault, a sudden loss or a medical emergency.

How it works

• Your psychologist first takes a full history and makes sure you have ways to manage distress before any memory work begins.
• In memory sessions, you hold a memory in mind briefly while following side-to-side eye movements or taps. You do not need to describe it in detail.
• The aim is for the memory to become less vivid and less upsetting.
• Your psychologist checks how you are at the start and end of every session.

How long it takes

For a single event, EMDR can take a few sessions after the preparation. For repeated or long-term trauma it takes longer. Your written plan gives the number of sessions and the cost.
