EMDR Therapy in Hong Kong
What is EMDR Therapy
Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing, also called EMDR, is a type of exposure therapy that helps decrease the negative emotional charge from a traumatic event.
This type of trauma therapy was discovered by Francine Shapiro, US psychologist. This type of therapy allows you to rewire their brains and process trauma more effectively. This therapy is based on the adaptive information-processing model.

Is EMDR Therapy Effective?
According to research, EMDR is as effective as trauma-focused cognitive behavioural therapy and different types of exposure therapy. According to one study, EMDR is more effective than SSRI medication (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors).
How Does EMDR Work during Consultations?
Your EMDR treatment comprises eight phases designed to rewire your brain. Your counsellor will walk you through each phase with selected EMDR exercises and help you process the negative memories.
What are the similarities between EMDR and Hypnosis?
Like hypnotherapy EMDR is a fast therapy. Both practices are very similar.
For example, an EMDR therapist will help a client ease into a trancelike state before recalling traumatic event.
Second the therapist will provide the hypnotic suggestion that the client can stay calm and retain control over the experience.
Third, the client is led to replace negative self-beliefs with a positive and empowering frame. Fourth, like in hypnosis, the clinician does not need to have a full account of the traumatic event. What matters is the client’s ability to process thoughts, feelings, and sensations.
