EMDR Therapy

"EMDR Therapy"

About: Shropshire Telford & Wrekin Talking Therapies

(as a service user),

I recently completed 20 sessions of EMDR therapy. I had the maximum number of sessions available due to my complex PTSD surrounding trauma in childhood.

I feel so grateful to my therapist for everything she has done to help me heal. I am in my late 30s and I've been living in survival mode for my entire life. My anxiety ruled everything.

EMDR therapy has been the single most useful thing I've done for my brain and I'm happy that I was able to have the 20 sessions as during the last week it all started to click and all the hard work (and it was hard) fell into place. I don't know if I would have benefited as much if I had been discharged sooner.
