what does EMDR involve?
In EMDR therapy, following a full assessment of the impact of the trauma, clients are asked to recall the traumatic event(s) while they also move their eyes from side-to-side, guided by the movement of their therapists fingers. Different aspects of the trauma are considered – the images, the feelings, beliefs the person may hold about themselves, their role or the meaning of the traumatic event.
