Is EMDR Therapy Right for Me?

EMDR therapy helps people who continue to experience emotional distress from past events. These experiences may involve trauma, loss, frightening experiences, relationship difficulties, accidents, medical procedures, or childhood adversity.

EMDR is often suitable when memories feel “stuck” and continue to trigger anxiety, fear, shame, emotional overwhelm, or negative beliefs about yourself.

During an assessment, Dr Millia will help determine whether EMDR therapy, IFS therapy, DBR therapy, or an integrated treatment approach is most suitable for your needs.

Common Questions About EMDR Therapy

 

Would EMDR therapy help with trauma and PTSD?
EMDR therapy is one of the most widely researched and recognised treatments for trauma and PTSD. It is commonly used to help people process distressing memories and reduce trauma-related symptoms.

Does EMDR work for Complex PTSD?
EMDR can be highly effective for Complex PTSD when delivered carefully and appropriately. Many people with Complex PTSD benefit from an integrated approach that may include EMDR, IFS therapy, DBR therapy, and stabilisation work.

Can EMDR Therapy Be Combined With IFS?
Yes. Many clients benefit from combining EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. IFS can help build safety and understanding around protective parts, while EMDR can help process traumatic memories. Learn more about IFS Therapy.

Do I Need To Talk About My Trauma In Detail?
Not necessarily. While EMDR focuses on distressing memories, therapy does not require detailed retelling of traumatic experiences. Sessions proceed at a pace that feels manageable and safe.

How Many EMDR Therapy Sessions Will I Need?
The number of sessions varies depending on the nature of the difficulties, the complexity of the trauma history, and treatment goals. During the assessment, Dr Millia will discuss a personalised treatment plan with you.

What Happens During the First Appointment?
The first appointment focuses on understanding your current difficulties, history, goals, and symptoms. Together, we discuss whether EMDR therapy, IFS therapy, DBR therapy, or an integrated approach is most suitable for your needs.

Is EMDR Evidence-Based?
EMDR is recognised as an evidence-based treatment for PTSD and trauma-related difficulties. It is recommended within treatment guidelines by organisations including the World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Psychological Association (APA).
