EMDR therapy. This is an NHS approved therapy which can help people who have suffered trauma. Initially developed to support people affected by ptsd, EMDR is now used to treat a range of symptoms including anxiety, depression, stress, complicated grief and addictions; which can derive from incidents or events – big or small – that overwhelm the normal coping mechanisms.
