EMDR is an 8 phase counselling treatment that considers all aspects of life experience

What is EMDR and how does it work?   

EMDR provides recovery and relief of simple and complexed trauma experiences 

JUST NOTICE provides Accredited EMDR therapy as members of EMDRAA Australia.

Why is Accredited so important? 

It assures the Practitioner continues to learns through training to ensure the EMDR experience is tailored to the specific needs of the client as trauma processing is comprehensive and requires thorough treatment planning.  

EMDRRA Accredited Practitioners attend case consultation to maintain Accreditation. 

At the beginning of the processing phase of EMDR you will be asked to bring into your conscious awareness all the components of the trauma memory network including the event/sensory stimuli, the emotional/physical memory and the personal meaning. 

The therapist will commence BLS (bilateral stimulation) once the trauma memory is activated and this will occur through eye movements, butterfly hugs, tapping, and/or with thera- tappers.

Who EMDR can help?

People who have experienced trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and attachment wounds.

How many sessions of EMDR therapy do I need?

Between 3 to 6 re-processing sessions for a single incident trauma, while complex or child hood trauma can take 24 to 40 or more sessions.

The exact number of sessions is highly individualised and depends on a number of factors:

• single incident trauma: Many clients with single traumas experience significant symptom relief within 6 to 12 sessions, and typically 3 to 6 reprocessing sessions.

• Complex or Childhood Trauma: often requires 12 to 24 sessions and sometimes 40 plus sessions as it involves multiple interconnected memories, core beliefs and extensive preparation work
