EMDR therapy focuses on memories of phobic responses and the feelings they provoke.

"Pam is amazing! Highly recommend. Pam taught me to let go of the past and to deal with my anxiety the best way. Pam listened, never judged and had the most amazing empathy!"

It’s always great to get positive feedback, but knowing that therapy has made such a difference to someone is why we do it. ☺️

And remember, research indicates that giving compliments can reliably increase your personal well-being. This positive feeling can be more enduring than the effects of self-focused actions. 🫶

Talking therapies offer a wide range of benefits for improving mental health and well-being.

There are many different types of talking therapy but they all provide a safe and confidential space to explore thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
This exploration helps individuals to gain a better understanding of themselves and to develop coping mechanisms for challenging situations.

Talking therapy can be effective in addressing various issues including anxiety, depression, relationship problems, past trauma and difficult life events.

Following on from last week's International Day of Happiness, it's worth remembering the words of the Dalai Lama,

"Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions."

We cannot rely on someone else to create our happiness for us, we need to create the environment and opportunities for ourselves.

If you haven't already, why not download the Action Calendar from the International Day of Happiness website https://www.dayofhappiness.net/ and put some of their suggestions into action.

On March 20th each year, people across the globe come together to commemorate the UN's International Day of Happiness. 😁

This year’s theme explores the relationship between social media 📲 and happiness, highlighting the potential challenges for our wellbeing as well as ways we can all use tech for good. 👍

In December last year, Australia was the first country to ban social media for under 16s.
Earlier this year in the UK, the government launched a consultation on a ban for under-16s from social media.
Countries across Europe are also considering a similar move.

Whatever our relationship with social media and our views on it, I'm hopeful that everyone strives to make themselves and others happier. 🤗

The International Day of Happiness website https://www.dayofhappiness.net/ has many resources including Action Calendars and the 10-Day Happiness Challenge.
Why not join the community and spread a little happiness? 🫶

Mindfulness can mean different things to different people.

For some it may include focussing on breathing and scanning sensations from various parts of the body.
Others concentrate purposefully on their surroundings using all five senses; whilst engaging with full awareness on day-to-day activities is another type of mindfulness.

Repeated studies have shown it reduces stress and anxiety leading to better management of depression.
Improved attention, memory, and cognitive flexibility can be achieved with sustained mindfulness.
This enables better insight into one's thoughts, feelings and behaviours and so improves self-regulation of emotions.
We are likely to become less reactive and remain calmer in challenging circumstances.

Why not stop for a few minutes now and engage in a mindful activity. 😌

Adults are generally better able to recover from overwhelming events than youngsters, because a lot of transformation occurs in the adolescent brain which causes it to have heightened sensitivity to stress.

Severe bullying as a child can lead to poor mental health as an adult and is linked to higher rates of psychiatric conditions, substance abuse and su***de.

Research shows that bullying effects 49 brain regions 🧠 including those involved in memory, learning, movement and emotional regulation.

Bullying disrupts our hormonal regulation and our ability to control our response to stress. 😟

A trained EMDR Child & Adolescent therapist can offer children the therapy needed to overcome the impact of bullying and other trauma experiences.

In November 2025, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) published a report stating that, in the UK, an estimated 40.1 million working days were lost in the 12 months period from April 2024 to March 2025 due to work-related ill health and non-fatal workplace injuries.
Of these, stress, depression or anxiety accounted for the majority of days, 22.1 million.
On average, workers citing work-related mental health problems were off work for almost 23 working days.

The increasing prevalence of depression poses a huge challenge to our healthcare system.

EMDR therapy represents a very effective treatment option for depression, and studies show promising effects with probably a higher remission rate when compared to more established therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy.

Stressful traumatic life events and stressful experiences play a crucial role in depression; they increase the risk to development, the severity of symptoms and the course of depression.

In clinical practice, therapists use EMDR to work with depressed patients to reprocess their memories of these stressful and traumatic events.

Many robust studies show a higher rate of remission at the end of EMDR therapy compared to other therapies (including CBT), and, usually, patients who gain full remission of their depression have a significantly lower risk of future relapse.
