CBT
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy combines two very effective kinds of psychotherapy — cognitive therapy and behaviour therapy. Behaviour therapy helps you weaken the connections between troublesome situations and your habitual reactions to them. (Reactions such as fear, depression or rage, and self-defeating or self-damaging behaviour) It also teaches you how to calm your mind and body, so you can feel better, think more clearly, and make better decisions.
Cognitive therapy teaches you how certain thinking patterns are causing your symptoms — by giving you a distorted picture of what's going on in your life, and making you feel anxious, depressed or angry for no good reason, or provoking you into ill-chosen actions.
When combined into CBT, behaviour therapy and cognitive therapy provide you with very powerful tools for stopping your symptoms and getting your life on a more satisfying track.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) integrates elements of many effective psychotherapies in structured protocols that are designed to maximise treatment effects. These include psychodynamic, cognitive behavioural, interpersonal, experiential, and body-centred therapies. EMDR is an information processing therapy and uses an eight-phase approach.
During EMDR the client attends to past and present experiences in brief sequential doses while simultaneously focusing on an external stimulus. Then the client is instructed to let new material become the focus of the next set of dual attention. This sequence of dual attention and personal association is repeated many times in the session.
