Feedback about therapy with Joseph

What is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)?

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an approach that looks at the links between our thoughts, our emotions and how we behave. Focussing more on the here and now, CBT is a therapy in which you and your therapist look for patterns that may be keeping problems going and to develop skills to help you overcome them. Although we cannot stop or control our thoughts, there are ways in which we can adapt our responses to them thoughts to improve our mood and wellbeing.

What is Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy?

EMDR is a psychological therapy for the treatment of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). It is designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories. EMDR facilitates the accessing and processing of traumatic memories to bring these to an adaptive resolution. After successful treatment with EMDR, emotional distress is relieved, negative beliefs are reformulated, and anxiety is reduced. 

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing integrates elements of many effective psychotherapies in structured protocols that are designed to maximise treatment effects. The effectiveness of EMDR for PTSD has been demonstrated by research, and EMDR is recommended as an evidence-based procedure by the British Department of Health, among other professional bodies.
