Interests and Hobbies
My interests include EMDR:
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a treatment now rated by NICE (National Institute of Clinical Excellence) and was used initially for trauma victims. EMDR simulates the movement of the eyes during REM sleep. This assists the client to become aware of any past and present experiences which are causing problems in their lives.
The clinician will carry out sets of bilateral stimulation - These are usually side to side movements which are being followed by the clients eyes and so simulating REM sleep.
EMDR is used for Trauma including Combat, PTSD, Phobias, Abuse, Accident Victims, Positive Psychology, Anger and many other issues which are possibly linked to this list.
