and they'll ask the question you'll do the eye movement and then you just say whatever comes into your brain after the i think 20 second period of doing the eye movement they can also do it by tapping on alternate sides of your chest the idea is just that side to side movement is what's required and you keep doing this for as long as it takes for the memory to stop feeling like it's happening to you in the present anymore

And I have to say I went in skeptical and I still do have some of that skepticism because the experience of doing it feels a little bit like hypnotism. I can't lie. The eye movement and the talking and it becomes this very rhythmic exchange with the therapist that feels a bit sort of mesmeric almost. But I can't deny the effect of its results.

The fertility procedure that we just talked about, that was one of the traumas that we used this EMDR process for. And it went from being something that I was almost every night having nightmares based on it. to being something that I don't think about for months at a time. You just mentioned it and I thought, oh yeah, I haven't thought about that in months, which never used to be the case.

It used to be something that I thought about every single day because I was having these nightmares based on it. So I can only say that it seems to have worked, but I can't really explain how it worked. Yeah.

this is a more traditional talking therapy and it's very results focused. So it's not particularly interested in why you might be exhibiting certain behaviours. It's focused on how can your behaviour be changed? And so for health anxiety, this mostly means confronting the fears, confronting the triggers and learning to react to them differently.

And it can be a very uncomfortable process because it does mean that things that you've maybe avoided or only allowed to penetrate as far as your subconscious, suddenly you have to make them the entire focus of your day and you actually have to do exercises that mean that you are putting yourself in the way of of these triggers. But ultimately, it's a process of desensitization.

The more times you do it and the terrible outcome that you expect doesn't happen, the more likely you are to accept that it's not going to happen anyway. I spoke to several different CBT therapists who describe different ways in which they use it for chronic health anxiety.
