EMDR Therapy for Medical Professionals & Allied Health Practitioners
Are you a therapist, medical professional or allied health practitioner seeking Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy for yourself?
EMDR Intensives: For Healthcare Professionals Quietly Carrying the Emotional Weight
If you're a therapist, doctor, midwife, nurse, paramedic, or allied health professional, you’re probably used to being the one others turn to in crisis. You’ve learned how to stay grounded, to show up for others even when their stories are overwhelming — and to keep going, no matter how heavy it gets.
But that emotional weight doesn’t just disappear. Over time, it adds up. And sometimes, it’s not just the job that’s exhausting — it’s what the job is reawakening in you.
Maybe it’s one case that hit too close to home. Or the steady accumulation of vicarious trauma from hearing painful stories day after day. Maybe it’s something more personal — a past experience, a loss, or an earlier trauma that’s starting to surface again. You might find yourself:
Carrying emotional residue from a recent or past case
Feeling flat, anxious, irritable, or more reactive than usual
Struggling with sleep, intrusive thoughts, or self-doubt
Feeling disconnected — from your work, from the people around you, or from yourself
Wondering how much longer you can keep pushing through without breaking
Whether it’s a single incident, complex trauma from earlier in life, or the slower erosion of vicarious trauma, it’s valid. It’s real. And you’re not alone in it.
EMDR intensives offer a focused, compassionate space to process what you’re carrying — without needing to commit to long-term therapy or step away from your role. These 2-hour sessions are designed specifically for clinicians and healthcare workers who are holding too much, too quietly. They're also appropriate if you’re a clinician seeking EMDR for your own trauma history, not just the work-related kind.
You’ve likely spent years supporting others. This is a space where the support is just for you.
You hold so much for others — But who’s holding you?
When the pressure is too much, you need a quick and effective solution
A busy healthcare professional, you don’t have the luxury of taking weeks or months off to focus on your mental health, even when you're struggling.
You need a solution that fits your schedule and helps you heal quickly—without interrupting your work or compromising your ability to care for others.
What is Vicarious Trauma?
Vicarious trauma occurs when you're exposed to trauma through the stories, experiences, and pain of others. It’s not just about the trauma you witness directly, but the emotional impact it leaves on you. You might begin to experience feelings of anxiety, depression, or even PTSD.
Perhaps you're struggling with persistent feelings of guilt, overwhelm, or burnout, or a pervasive inability to trust your own judgement and maybe you notice your ability to connect with your work and clients starting to fade.
