Did you know we offer EMDR therapy at our Wynnum practice?

How EMDR Works:
At the core of EMDR therapy is the idea that trauma can get “stuck” in the brain and disrupt its natural processing mechanisms. When a person experiences trauma, the brain struggles to integrate the memory in a healthy way. As a result, the memory can remain vivid and emotionally charged, causing ongoing distress.

During EMDR, the therapist helps the individual access traumatic memories while simultaneously guiding them through bilateral stimulation (usually through eye movements, but sometimes through tapping or auditory cues). This process is believed to help the brain reprocess the traumatic event and reduce its emotional charge. Essentially, EMDR helps “unlock” the memory, allowing the brain to process it properly and integrate it in a healthier way.

Who Can Benefit from EMDR Therapy?
EMDR therapy is suitable for anyone who has experienced trauma, whether recently or in the past. It is particularly beneficial for individuals with PTSD, but it can also help those dealing with anxiety, depression, addiction, and phobias. People who have experienced various forms of trauma, such as abuse, accidents, natural disasters, or combat exposure, can find significant relief through EMDR therapy.
