EMDR

When to use EMDR?

EMDR therapy may be used when an individual is experiencing symptoms related to trauma or other mental health conditions that are interfering with their daily functioning and quality of life. Specifically, EMDR therapy is commonly used when an individual is experiencing symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or other trauma-related disorders, such as anxiety, depression, and phobias.

EMDR therapy may be particularly useful in cases where traditional talk therapy has not been effective in treating the individual's symptoms or where the individual is resistant to traditional forms of therapy. It may also be used in conjunction with other forms of therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or medication, as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.

The decision to use EMDR therapy should be made by a trained and licensed mental health professional who has experience in providing EMDR therapy. The therapist will conduct an assessment and determine if EMDR therapy is an appropriate treatment option for the individual's specific needs.
