The Benefit of EMDR
EMDR therapy gives you the benefits of a reasonably quick therapy process ;
The number of EMDR therapy sessions needed can vary depending on several factors, including the nature and severity of the issues being addressed, the individual’s response to treatment, and their overall therapeutic goals.
However, research suggests that many individuals experience significant improvement within under 10 sessions, though some may require fewer or more sessions.
For individuals with single-event traumas or specific phobias, fewer sessions may be needed, often ranging from 1-5 sessions. On the other hand, individuals with complex trauma or multiple issues may require more sessions to achieve desired outcomes.
Ultimately, the duration of EMDR therapy is tailored to each person’s unique needs and progress. I will work collaboratively with you to establish a treatment plan and regularly assess your progress to determine the appropriate number of sessions needed to meet your goals.
What are clients saying?
‘Weekly sessions helped me STOP painful flashbacks that were often dragging me into my past. And that it is the most important thing as every time I experienced a flashback it felt like it happening in the moment. Jo helped me process the worst memory within a couple of weeks, which is amusingly fast because I have been trying to deal with it for years by myself. As a domino, all other smaller memories lost their power as well, after the BOSS memory got defeated!’ 100 % Recommend!
