Trauma Aid AotearoaEMDR for AllTrauma Aid trained clinicians can support clients throughout New Zealand struggling with trauma, PTSD, distressing memories, and the emotional impact of overwhelming life experiences.
EMDR helps the brain process memories that still feel raw, stuck, or easily triggered. A person may still remember what happened, but the memory can become less overwhelming and less present in everyday life.
EMDRIA describes EMDR as an extensively researched psychotherapy method that can help people recover from trauma and other distressing experiences, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, and panic disorders. Read EMDRIA's client brochure.
Common clinical areas where Trauma Aid therapists may use EMDR include anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, chronic illness and medical issues, depression, eating disorders, grief and loss, pain, PTSD and complex PTSD, sexual assault, sleep disturbance, substance use, violence, and abuse.
EMDR is not the right fit for everyone at every moment. A trained clinician should assess readiness, safety, supports, and whether EMDR is appropriate before reprocessing begins.
