"EMDR and psychological treatment after medical trauma"

About: Outpatients Centre / Adult Clinical Psychology

(as a service user),

I was treated by Dr Emma after a traumatic hospital, stay for about a year .

My sessions with Emma were transformative and have impacted my life for the better. Her wealth of knowledge and experience were evident in my sessions with her as she listened fully with empathy and taught me various tools to help manage my condition.

After a few attempts at trying to explain what I was going through to other medical professionals, I felt Emma just 'got' it. She was excellent at explaining psychological terms to me in layman's terms, as well as carrying out effective interventions such as EMDR. 

It was daunting starting therapy while going through such a difficult period but Emma made me feel comfortable throughout. She got me from a place where constant intrusive thoughts about a traumatic experience were making me struggle with social interactions or even feeling safe enough to leave the house - to being back in full time work and feeling more like myself again.

Dear taruspp99

Thank you for taking the time to give feedback on your sessions with Emma. I am so glad to hear you felt understood by Emma and that EMDR had a positive impact on your trauma symptoms and so has helped you get back doing things that are important to you.

I will pass on your positive feedback to Emma.

Many thanks and wishing you well,

From

Rachel
