Trauma Counselling Using EMDR

Trauma counselling is offered at Palm Counselling through a trauma-informed lens, which means we are aware of and sensitive to any past traumatic experiences that could potentially be contributing to your emotional experience or behaviour challenges. Research tell us that creating safety and trust in the therapeutic relationship is necessary before trauma work can take place, which is why creating a warm and a safe environment is our top priority.

Sofia uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help individuals process and heal from trauma and distressing life experiences. EMDR has become a widely recognized treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other mental health related challenges such as anxiety and depression. EMDR is not your traditional talk therapy but rather a structured procedure that involves concentrating on a memory or emotion while moving the eyes rapidly back and forth. Research indicates that EMDR can be as effective as, or more effective than, traditional talk therapies in treating trauma. Many clients can experience significant reductions in distress following a relatively short number of sessions. It is highly encouraged that clients commit to this treatment consistently without a lengthy time in between sessions. EMDR sessions are only offered as 80 min sessions.
