Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing EMDR, is an evidence based therapy that uses bi-lateral stimulation (eye movements, tapping or sound) to help the brain process and integrate traumatic memories and reduces the emotional charge that these memories can hold.
I am a qualified EMDR practitioner and have done additional training in attachment informed EMDR. People who have experienced complex trauma may also benefit from Internal Family Systems (IFS) which focuses on understanding all of the different parts of us and how we can integrate all those parts. Using an IFS informed approach to EMDR can be especially beneficial to clients with complex trauma.
I am a registered practitioner with EMDR UK
There is a very helpful video explaining EMDR on www.emdrassociation.uk
