PTSD or post-traumatic
stress disorder is most often associated with the use of E.M.D.R. In the
Bermondsey Office we use this treatment procedure with several other
applications as well. Research has clearly demonstrated that EMDR is highly
effective in treating PTSD and other types of trauma in adults as well as in
children.
It is used to treat cases
where children have been abused, including sexual abuse, as well as being used
in the same traumatic situations with adult clients. In recent studies EMDR has
also been demonstrated as being effective in the treatment of Borderline
Personality Disorder (BPD) that is often very challenging to treat using
traditional psychotherapy methods. Other treatments using EMDR can include
anxiety and phobias, addictions, eating disorders and stress related issues.
E.M.D.R in the Bermondsey
Office is used as part of a holistic or integrated approach to working with our
clients. Each individual will have his or her own unique treatment plan that is
developed by a team of psychotherapists with international experience in
assisting clients. With the team approach and an integrated treatment plan each
patient will receive the treatment and services they need to develop new,
healthy and positive ways of experiencing life.
What To Expect With E.M.D.R
In the Bermondsey Office
EMDR or Eye Movement
Desensitisation and Reprocessing is unlike most other types of psychotherapy,
although it does include elements of talk therapy and requires the therapist
and client to work closely together during the treatment process. Our staff
offering EMDR has years of experience in providing EMDR with clients of all
ages and those experiencing all types of trauma.
The basis of E.M.D.R in the
Bermondsey Office involves mentally experiencing the trauma while completing a
very specific series of eye movements. The psychotherapist is there to guide
you through the mental experience of the trauma while also having you identify
the thoughts, physical sensations and the emotional sensations that you
experienced. As you move your eyes back and forth, following the therapists
finger movements, you will be asked to think of more positive mental images
around the traumatic event.
After completing the
exercises, you will find that the negative response to thinking about the
trauma or the source of the trauma is noticeable diminished. With repeated
sessions this decrease will continue until you no longer experience the
anxiety, stress and distress around that particular event in your life.
Our psychotherapists
practicing E.M.D.R in the Bermondsey Office will discuss your thoughts and
responses to the treatment, and to your recall of the traumatic event or events
in your life. You will be intimately involved in creating positive and
realistic thoughts around the trauma that will allow you to effectively cope
with these issues in your life moving forward.
Research has shown that EMDR
is highly effective for several mental health conditions. When used as part of
a holistic approach to treatment, it has significant benefits over conventional
talk types of psychotherapy, making it a valuable treatment option for many of
our clients.
