When something from the past will not stay in the past

Some experiences do not fade the way most memories do. A sound, a smell or a moment can bring them rushing back, and your body reacts as if it is happening all over again. You may have tried to push it away, or talk it through, and found it still has a hold on you.

EMDR therapy helps your mind finish processing what happened, so the memory loses its charge. You still remember it, but it no longer takes over. With an EMDR trained therapist in Fareham, or online, you can work through it safely and at your own pace.

How EMDR works

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing. While you briefly bring a memory to mind, your therapist guides your attention gently from side to side, a little like the light below.

Before

The memory is stuck

When something overwhelming happens, the brain can store it in a raw, unfinished way. That is why it can feel as if it is still happening.

During

Side to side

Following eye movements, taps or sounds from side to side helps your brain reprocess the memory, much as it does naturally during sleep.

After

It feels like the past

The memory is still there, but the distress around it settles. Many people describe it as finally feeling "over".

EMDR is recommended by NICE and the World Health Organization for post-traumatic stress.

What happens in EMDR therapy

EMDR follows a clear structure, so you always know where you are. A single distressing memory often takes 3 to 6 sessions. More complex experiences can take longer, and your therapist will talk this through with you.

Still have a question? Call free on 0800 970 4776

Do I have to talk about what happened in detail?
No. One of the reasons many people choose EMDR is that it does not rely on retelling the whole story. You bring the memory briefly to mind, and your therapist guides the rest.
Is EMDR evidence-based?
Yes. EMDR is recommended by NICE and the World Health Organization for post-traumatic stress, and it has been widely researched for trauma and related difficulties.
How many EMDR sessions will I need?
A single distressing memory often takes 3 to 6 sessions. More complex or long-standing experiences can take longer. Your therapist will talk this through with you and review it as you go.
What does EMDR feel like?
Most people find it calmer than they expect. Feelings can come up while you work, but you stay in control, you can pause at any time, and your therapist makes sure you feel settled before each session ends.
Can I have EMDR online?
Yes. EMDR can be done by secure video, with the side to side movements shown on screen. You can also see your therapist in person at our rooms in Fareham, Hampshire.
How much does EMDR cost?
EMDR sessions are £126 each, or £480 for a block of four. Your first 15 minute call is free and commits you to nothing.
