In seeking a better understanding of ourselves, and our responses to experiences, Somatic Experiencing & EMDR Therapy for Adults emerge as potent methods that foster holistic healing processes. Many adults can benefit from these forms of neurobiological therapies, which integrate the mind and body.

An Introduction to Somatic Experiencing & EMDR Therapy

Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) are therapies that delve into our inherent capability to heal. Rooted in mindfulness, they provide ways of surfacing and processing buried traumatic experiences.

"Healing takes courage, and we all have courage, even if we have to dig a little to find it." - Tori Amos

The Science Behind SE & EMDR

Originating from the field of trauma therapy, both of these methods work to access the deeper layers of emotional processing that traditional talk therapy might miss. Through combining research from neuroscience, psychology, and biology, SE and EMDR engage your mind-body connection to generate healing.

The Somatic Experiencing Approach

SE works by attuning individuals to their body sensations or somatic experiences. It argues that trauma stuck in the body can cause disconnection, and this method helps one release these blockages. It's often utilized for symptoms of PTSD and other trauma-related conditions.

EMDR Therapy and its Role

Similarly, EMDR utilises structured eye movements to allow individuals to process and interpret traumatic experiences. It is proven to be effective for various mental health conditions such as anxiety, phobias, and depression.

Enhancing Your Mental Health

The power of SE and EMDR therapy lies in their acknowledgement of the body's inherent wisdom and capacity to heal. These therapies empower adults to reclaim control over their own mental health, breaking free from the clutches of trauma and distress.
