Hypno EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) Therapy

Hypno EMDR combines hypnotherapy and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help a client process and heal from trauma, anxiety, phobias, and other mental health challenges. It combines the benefits of both modalities, enhancing their individual effectiveness.

EMDR is a therapeutic approach that helps clients reprocess traumatic memories. It uses bilateral stimulation (e.g., eye movements, tapping, or sounds) to desensitise the emotional distress linked to traumatic experiences that have occurred and then reframe those memories in a more neutral and positive way.

Hypnotherapy uses a state of focused relaxation (hypnosis) to access the subconscious mind, allowing clients to explore underlying thoughts, memories, and beliefs in a relaxed state. It can help rewire negative patterns and replace these with healthier coping mechanisms.

How Hypno EMDR Works

• Enhanced relaxation: Hypnosis helps calm the nervous system, creating a safe mental environment to process emotions.

• Deep focus: In a hypnotic state, clients can access suppressed memories and emotions more easily, facilitating EMDR’s processing techniques.

• Empowered reframing: The hypnotic state can reinforce positive beliefs and coping mechanisms while desensitising any triggers.

• Faster results: By combining EMDR’s structured protocol with the relaxation and focus of hypnosis, therapeutic outcomes may be achieved more quickly.
