A FORTHCOMING TREATMENT : EYE MOVEMENT DESENSITISATION & REPROCESSING (EMDR)

EMDR is an evidence based treatment method used by mental health professionals for the treatment of various conditions including trauma, the impact of natural disasters and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It has been shown to accelerate the conventional treatment of presenting issues related to distressful past events and present life conditions and is an interactional, standardised approach that integrates into and augments treatment plans.

This therapy will shortly be available via practitioners of Body & Soul Surrey, www.bodyandsoulsurrey.co.uk.

The World Health Organisation report
A World Health Organisation report has emphasised the link between mental and hysical health and illness. For example, suffering from depression has a negative effect on those already contending with such illnesses as diabetes, asthma and cancer sufferers.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) has been identified as useful and can contribute to enhance well-being. Cited: www.nhsdirect.com.
