EMDR Therapy
Hi everyone,
A few girls from the our community have recently provided excellent feedback on their experiences with EDMR therapy so I thought it best to share some information about EDMR therapy with you.
Firstly, what is it? You can find a great overview here:

Common feedback from multiple girls:
- It was scary because memory recall is required but the therapist was slow and gentle
- It was slightly confusing after the first session. It felt like the memory or sometimes the emotions attached to it disappeared
- Best therapy that helped to feel no affects of the trauma
- The actual EDMR experience was only after 3-4 sessions with the therapist that was focused on preparation, and stabilisation
The trauma that the girls were able to heal with this therapy included sexual abuse (childhood and adult) and physical abuse (adult).
Here's a link to therapists in the city centre that provide EDMR therapy:

Not all insurances cover EDMR therapy so please check with your insurance company. Some of the girls that provided feedback paid privately and said it was the best decision they made because of how effective it was.
