When navigating the aftermath of trauma or managing anxiety, finding the right therapeutic approach can feel overwhelming. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, or EMDR therapy, with Angsana Psychology, provides a structured yet flexible way to address distressing memories and emotional challenges. This approach combines elements of psychotherapy with bilateral stimulation, typically guided eye movements, to support the brain in processing difficult experiences more adaptively.
EMDR differs from traditional talking therapies such as CBT or ACT. During sessions, individuals focus on distressing memories while engaging in bilateral stimulation. This process allows the mind to reprocess memories that may otherwise remain emotionally charged, offering relief from symptoms of trauma, anxiety, and other mental health difficulties. EMDR sessions are conducted with careful attention to each client’s pace and comfort, ensuring that therapy remains safe and effective.
The therapy has proven particularly helpful for those managing trauma or post-traumatic stress disorder. Memories that trigger fear or distress can be approached in a controlled environment, gradually reducing their emotional intensity. EMDR can also support people experiencing anxiety, phobias, or panic attacks, helping them understand the root of these responses and regain a sense of calm and control. For individuals struggling with depression or grief, EMDR offers a means to process negative self-beliefs or unresolved loss, contributing to emotional wellbeing.
At Angsana Psychology, EMDR therapy in Norwich is delivered by Dr Jinnie Ooi, a chartered clinical psychologist who tailors sessions to each person’s specific needs. A thorough assessment precedes treatment, allowing for a clear understanding of goals and the development of a personalised plan. This structured approach ensures that EMDR sessions address underlying issues while promoting long-term emotional resilience.
