Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

At Manor Clinic, we offer EMDR therapy, an effective treatment for trauma and distressing memories. EMDR is particularly valuable for individuals experiencing Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and other trauma-related conditions.

What is EMDR?

EMDR is a structured therapy that combines cognitive behavioral techniques with bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements. This approach helps reprocess traumatic memories, reducing their emotional impact and fostering healthier coping mechanisms.

Benefits of EMDR

  • Reduced Trauma Symptoms: Alleviates emotional distress from traumatic memories.
  • Improved Coping Skills: Develops healthier ways to manage anxiety and stress.
  • Faster Recovery: Often requires fewer sessions compared to traditional therapies.
  • Enhanced Emotional Regulation: Helps individuals understand and manage their emotions better.

Age Range for EMDR

EMDR is suitable for individuals aged 6 and older, effective for those with PTSD, anxiety disorders, phobias, and other trauma-related issues.

Referral Process

Individuals can request EMDR therapy directly. A formal referral is not required.

Treatment Duration

EMDR typically involves 6 to 12 sessions, lasting 50 minutes each, depending on individual needs.
