Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (eMDR)
Come meet our community of EMDR therapists
EMDR therapy is a powerful approach for relieving symptoms of trauma, PTSD, cPTSD, anxiety, depression, and OCD. EMDR processes distressing memories, reducing their emotional weight and fostering lasting change. It’s also helpful for managing phobias, chronic pain and performance anxiety.
This compassionate therapy can support those dealing with life transitions, relationship struggles, or self-esteem concerns often related to childhood events. EMDR empowers you and guids you toward emotional balance and a greater sense of peace and resilience.
EMDR Therapy helps people heal from trauma or other distressing life experiences.
You are not alone. There is a path to healing
This powerful psychotherapy approach has helped over an estimated two million people of all ages relieve many types of psychological distress.
Working to progress EMDR therapy
The EMDR Association of Australia (EMDRAA) is a professional association where EMDR practitioners and researchers set standards for the clinical use of EMDR therapy for its members. Many of our practitioners are membes of The EMDRAA. EMDR is designated as an effective treatment by the World Health Organization (WHO), the Australian Phoenix Australia – Centre for Post-traumatic Mental Health, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and many other international health agencies.

FT may be used as an adjunctive intervention to make a variety of trauma-informed psychotherapies quicker and better tolerated. In Internal Family Systems, it can aid in “unburdening.” In various exposure therapies, it can reduce exposure-related disturbance. In Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, it can increase client receptiveness to reparative adult perspectives.
About the Flash Technique
Originally developed as an addition to the preparation phase of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), FT has been demonstrated to be effective in reducing the disturbance level associated with severely painful memories, sometimes in as little as ten to fifteen minutes. Like EMDR, FT utilizes eye movements or alternating tapping and is designed to resolve unprocessed traumatic memories in the brain.
