EMDR Therapy is used to desensitize trauma, stress, or PTSD that has managed to stay with a person for a long time. This is because the anxiety has not been properly processed at the time of the trauma. When we are traumatized, we don’t always deal with it as it happens, and we push the experience into the unconscious mind for a later date. Just because we wish this trauma away, doesn’t mean it’s gone. The untreated state then becomes a potential threat as a trigger. The unconscious mind creates defense mechanisms for your security and well-being. If untreated, these traumas can become PTSD. Reiki Healing can also help.

How many sessions will you need?

EMDR therapy is an effective way to process and finally overcome negative states when we are triggered in certain situations. When a fear, phobia, PTSD, or anxiety trigger surfaces, it can very negatively affect our lives. EMDR Therapy is roughly about three sessions. The EMDR Therapist can provide relief from the triggers that continue to make you feel unsafe, uncomfortable, and uneasy.

In our clinic, EMDR Therapy Central Coast and Gosford is an effective therapy that clears negative emotional states, physiologically and neurologically. An EMDR Therapist places the client into a light hypnotic trance and asks the client to bring the feelings of anxiety, fear, and stress to the surface.

The therapist will know how to bring these states to the surface. Usually, the person starts to feel the feeling of anxiety coming over them. The client is then asked to open their eyes and the practitioner moves their index finger from left to right, up, and down. The client’s eyes follow the movement of the practitioner’s index finger. This processes the trauma using brain functions and desensitizes negative feeling states.
