EMDR Therapy Melbourne
Trauma treatment that brings relief and meaningful progress
When trauma is not fully processed the mind and body continue to react as if the event is still happening. You may understand your past yet still feel overwhelmed anxious or stuck.
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing EMDR therapy helps the brain re file traumatic memories so they no longer trigger intense emotional or physical reactions. Many clients describe this as finally being able to breathe.
Schema Therapy Institute Australia uses a combined EMDR and Schema Therapy approach that not only reduces symptoms but also shifts long standing patterns that were created in response to trauma. This offers relief and deeper change.
How EMDR therapy helps
• Lower PTSD symptoms
• Reduced flashbacks and nightmares
