Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) was originally developed to treat people suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). It can also treat a range of issues that originate from trauma or stress.

How EMDR Works
This is done by tackling a neurological feature of stress; using rapid eye movements similar to the eye movements which occur while people are dreaming during REM sleep. By focusing on bringing these rapid eye movements about during waking hours, we can tap into the neurological pathways that formed around the cause of distress, and help the brain to learn a new way to react.
Proven Effectiveness
EMDR is a proven technique to treat a wide range of psychological disorders, particularly related to anxiety. If you would like to talk to someone about EMDR, please get in touch with us at Meeting Matters.
EMDR at The Meeting Matters
EMDR is available both online and in-person at our Islamabad clinic, delivered by trained clinical psychologists experienced in trauma-focused care.
