Venue local to Ripon, NorthYorkshire.

Take Control of your life with Self-help techniques from EMDR Therapy.

Many life experiences can have effects that come up automatically outside our conscious control.

Are you living with anxiety, depression, feeling stuck, experiencing little joy, do you have a phobia, social anxiety or something that makes you feel hindered?

Present negative reactions and behaviours can be tracked back to an earlier unprocessed memory. This means they are stored in the brain in a way that still holds the emotions, physical sensations and beliefs that were experienced earlier in life. The unprocessed memories can push our reactions and responses.

EMDR (Eye Movement De-sensititisation Re-processing) activates the brain’s info processing system, digesting the old memories so what is useful is learned, what’s useless gets discarded and the memory is stored in a way so it’s no longer damaging.

These workshops will help you understand how experiences lay the physical groundwork for our reactions, why we feel stuck and what to do about it. They hope to show you how to identifying the unconscious memories that run us and ways to deal with reactions. A large majority of unprocessed memories can be digested through these methods without actual processing.

Connection between the body and the mind is a very important aspect of these techniques.
