EMDR For Complex Trauma

Dr. Hamodi Kayal
Clinical Psychologist & EMDR Specialist
Complex trauma is a term used to describe the long-term effects of exposure to multiple traumatic events, such as abuse, neglect, or loss. It can have a significant impact on a person's mental health and overall well-being, leading to symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and difficulty forming relationships.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a form of therapy that has been shown to be particularly effective in helping people cope with complex trauma. At the London EMDR Clinic, Dr Hamodi Kayal is an experienced therapist who has helped countless people overcome the effects of complex trauma using this treatment method.
How EMDR Works for Complex Trauma
During EMDR sessions, the therapist guides the client through a series of eye movements while they focus on their traumatic memories. This process helps to "unlock" the memories and allow them to be processed and integrated into the client's overall life story. As a result, the memories become less distressing and the client is able to better cope with the emotions associated with them.
Benefits of EMDR for Complex Trauma
One of the key benefits of EMDR is that it can help people to process their trauma in a way that is more natural and less overwhelming than traditional talk therapy. This makes it easier for people to engage with the treatment and see progress in a relatively short period of time.
Another benefit of EMDR is that it can help to reduce the symptoms of complex trauma, such as flashbacks and avoidance behaviors. By processing the memories and emotions associated with the trauma, clients are able to better regulate their emotions and feel more in control of their lives.
What is Complex Trauma?
Complex trauma refers to exposure to multiple traumatic events, often of an invasive, interpersonal nature, and the wide-ranging, long-term effects of this exposure. These events are severe and pervasive, such as abuse or profound neglect.
