RAPID IMPROVEMENTS THROUGH EMDR THERAPY
Research indicates that individuals dealing with traumatic events and related disorders often experience rapid improvements through EMDR Therapy.
SEARCHING FOR EMDR THERAPY IN GRIFFITH?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, created by Dr Francine Shapiro in 1987, is designed to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and follows the adaptive information processing model.
At The Counselling, Mediation, and Relationship Centre in Griffith, we utilise the adaptive information processing model to address unprocessed memories from past events that continue to cause distress. These memories hold the emotions, thoughts, beliefs, and physical sensations from the time of the event.
Research has demonstrated that EMDR therapy disrupts working memory and mirrors the natural processing of REM sleep, aiding the brain in effectively processing these memories.
By incorporating EMDR Therapy, Donna helps clients manage challenges in a calm and rational manner, focusing directly on issues rather than engaging in lengthy analysis and talk therapy.
RECOVER WITH EXPERT EMDR THERAPISTS IN GRIFFITH
If you’re feeling frustrated with slow progress and frequent mental blocks, EMDR therapy might be your next step. This method can address issues that traditional talk therapy might take years to resolve.
Our EMDR therapists apply a well-regarded psychotherapy approach endorsed by the World Health Organisation. This method has been extensively studied and proven effective across various cultures and types of distress for over three decades. If you have encountered traumatic or distressing events, your natural coping mechanisms might be exhausted. These memories and associated cognitions can become inadequately processed and distressing.
EMDR has been shown to bring about neurological changes in the brain, resolving these stored memories and negative beliefs, and alleviating current symptoms. It enhances the brain’s ability to process information. Through bilateral stimulation, EMDR helps to reduce the impact of intense negative memories. After an EMDR session, you will still remember the event but without the accompanying distress.
BENEFITS OF EMDR THERAPY
EMDR therapy allows individuals to release distressing memories and their emotional impacts. Post-session, clients often find a sense of inner peace, boosting their confidence, self-esteem, and overall happiness.

EMDR Therapy often delivers results more quickly than many traditional therapeutic methods by reducing distress. Known as the ‘accelerated emotional processing method,’ EMDR focuses on addressing core issues of distress.
This method provides a structured approach for the brain to process information and experiences effectively. Studies suggest that once distress is fully resolved, it has minimal chances of reoccurrence. EMDR therapy is typically conducted one-on-one, once or twice a week, for 6 to 12 sessions, though this can vary based on individual needs.
Unlike other therapies, EMDR does not require detailed recounting of traumatic experiences, which can minimize the emotional discomfort of revisiting these events repeatedly.
