EMDR

Trauma doesn’t always scream. Sometimes, it whispers, quietly, shaping how we see ourselves, others and the world around us.

You might notice:

1. Panic in everyday situations
2. Feeling disconnected or numb
3. Trouble trying to sleep or concentrate
4. Constant self-doubt or fear
5. Overreacting to things that wouldn’t usually bother you

You keep going, trying to act as if everything is okay. You show up for others. You keep pushing through work. You tell yourself, “I’m fine.” Deep down, you know things aren’t fine.

Your nervous system is never quite settled. That unprocessed memory, whether from childhood, an accident, grief, or abuse, stays trapped. And when something small triggers it?

It all comes flooding back into your mind. We help people understand this pattern so they can take the first step toward healing.

It’s not a weakness. It’s biology. And it’s something EMDR therapy can gently help untangle.

In your quest to try and resolve, you’ve tried all of the things:

1. Pushing it down
2. Staying busy
3. Reading self-help books
4. Putting on a brave face

You might have even tried counselling but found talking alone didn’t really shift anything.

There’s a reason for that.

Trauma doesn’t live in the thinking part of your brain. It lives in your body and your emotional memory. So, no matter how much you talk about it, it still feels the same.

That same image. The same intrusive thoughts. That same panic. That same dread.

That’s where our EMDR therapy comes in.

Instead of talking around the problem. EMDR helps your brain process what’s been stuck. And if you’re someone who’s been holding onto pain for a long time, it can finally feel like something shifts.

EMDR stand for Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing. It’s a therapy developed specifically to help people process trauma.

Here’s how it works;

1. You focus briefly on a painful memory
2. At the same time, your therapist guides you through gentle left-right stimulation (such as eye movements or tapping)
3. This helps your brain “digest” the memory in a safe, calm, environment.

There’s no need to talk about it in detail. No need to relive it over and over again.

You stay present and in control the whole time.

The intensity of the memory will be reduced, making it easier to manage. many people describe it as finally something to rest. The memory hasn’t been forgotten but it’s no longer running the show.
