EMDR is a powerful and effective psychotherapy that is highly recommended for the successful treatment of trauma. It involves the use of eye movements or another bilateral stimulation strategic approach. The process releases information trapped in the mind and body, allowing it to be processed and released, thereby alleviating the symptoms of distress, which can range from disturbing images and body sensations to debilitating emotions and negative restrictive beliefs about self and others.
EMDR is a revolutionary therapy that has been instrumental in helping clients across all age groups recover from various types of traumas.
EMDR therapy is a powerful treatment that helps individuals heal from past traumatic experiences. By addressing the past, present, and future, EMDR therapy guides clients through a comprehensive process to resolve disturbing memories and develop the skills and attitudes needed for positive change. The eight-phase approach, including history taking, resource building, and memory processing, utilizes bilateral stimulation to facilitate natural healing. The resolution of traumatic memories can be achieved in one or more sessions, depending on the severity of the trauma.
This innovative therapy utilizes gentle eye movements or tapping to help the brain process unresolved trauma, providing a minimally intrusive option for clients. Unlike traditional interventions, the Flash Technique allows individuals to address their traumatic memories without feeling overwhelming distress, leading to a rapid decrease in their symptoms. This makes it a highly beneficial choice for trauma survivors who may not be ready to confront their experiences head-on.

AF-EMDR also covers the use and benefits of EMDR combined with bilateral stimulation for helping clients who respond less to traditional protocols owing to acute or chronic relational trauma and attachment deficits such as – physical or emotional neglect by caregivers, lack of safe space, childhood physical or sexual abuse, neglect, early losses, birth trauma, medical trauma, parental drug or alcohol abuse, caregiver mis attunement and secondary trauma.
Such clients often get depressed and suffer from relationship difficulties or problems at work. They don’t feel fully alive. In many cases, childhood trauma affects their sense of safety and ability to form close emotional relationships in adulthood. So, by incorporating an attachment-repair orientation to all phases of EMDR work, it successfully helps to alleviate the symptoms.
