Addressing trauma
EMDR therapy has been recognised as an effective treatment for the effects of trauma. Using a trauma informed approach, that includes supporting the development of skills for emotional resourcing and regulation, addressing the core beliefs and schema that have resulted from past trauma and support to integrate trauma as a past event, can provide effective support to move into increased wellbeing, when an individual has experienced past trauma events.
