Ep 20. EMDR Therapy: the basics with Dr Veena Sothieson

In this episode, clinical psychologist, Dr Veena Sothieson, provides a helpful overview of EMDR therapy. We understand you might be wondering: What exactly is EMDR? What does a session involve? And how might it help you? Dr Sothieson clearly explains how bilateral stimulation can assist in processing and supporting healing from distressing experiences. She also walks you through the different stages of EMDR therapy, from your initial assessment and preparation, right through to the active processing sessions. If you're seeking to understand more about EMDR and whether it could be a helpful path forward for you, this episode offers valuable insights. And if you're interested in delving deeper, keep an eye out for a future episode where we'll explore the Adaptive Information Processing Model (AIP) that underpins EMDR.
