EMDR Therapy in Lincoln
If past experiences continue to feel overwhelming, EMDR therapy can help you process them so they no longer have the same impact.
What is EMDR?
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychological therapy recommended by NICE guidelines for trauma and related difficulties.
It works by helping your brain process memories that may feel “stuck”, reducing their emotional intensity and allowing you to respond differently.
Rather than repeatedly talking through the details, EMDR focuses on how memories are stored and helps your mind reprocess them using bilateral stimulation.
