Dr Andrea Wallace: All about EMDR
Show notes
Alison steps in for Angie today and joins Penny in welcoming back Dr Andrea Wallace to discuss EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing).
EMDR is an evidence-backed therapy that uses bilateral stimulation (for example side to side eye movements) alongside the recollection of memories to help the brain reprocess memories of events or feelings.
Penny and Alison discuss:
- How the body/mind is wired to heal itself
- What EMDR is and how it started
- How and why it can be useful to help treat people with OCD
- What EMDR sessions might look like
- How it’s been helpful for Penny
- How it can help people who might be resistant to trying ERP
