EMDR, the answer to healing relationships and coping with break-ups and divorce.

If regular couple counselling has not helped fix your relationship, it may be time to consider a non-talk therapy, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). Alternatively, if you are recovering from a break-up EMDR can help you to heal and make changes necessary to move on with your life at a faster rate.

Healing relationships with EMDR EMDR brings awareness to negative behavioural patterns and attachment issues in the relationship. It is able to help change subconscious beliefs that keep relationships in a perpetual state of gridlock. EMDR addresses issues relating to jealousy, anger, separation anxiety, hurtful feelings, communication difficulties, avoidance and infidelity.

Those who experience relationship difficulties often suffer from negative emotions such as anger, vulnerability, low self esteem or and often chronic depression. These emotion can be debilitating and can effect ones health, career and family life for
years.

Often a person’s pre-existing issues create difficulties in a relationship. Childhood trauma for example is a common root cause of many relationship difficulties. Trauma does not only encompass loss, disaster and accidents but includes neglect, physical, sexual and psychological abuse. Trauma and neglect have the capacity to do great damage to the brain and are responsible for causing all types of relationship attachment problems.

Painful emotional memories get locked into the nervous system at a subconscious level and unless processed and released manifest in the form of destructive behaviours. Some of these behaviours include addiction, anger, co-dependancy and further abuse causing disastrous outcomes in adult relationships.

More often than not a person will take their same troubles into the next relationship if these subconscious patterns are not processed and resolved. EMDR can help an individual or couple to avoid repeating their limiting beliefs and negative patterns in the future.

EMDR is a powerful therapy that works with the use of backwards and forwards bilateral stimulation (BLS) to help the brain unlock difficult emotions and disturbing memories from the central nervous system and then install positive and more beneficial beliefs for the client.
