At Invicta Performance, we believe mental health is just as important as physical health. That’s why our multidisciplinary clinic includes a dedicated Psychology Services team, offering advanced treatments for trauma, anxiety, depression, and stress-related conditions.
One of the evidence-based therapies we are proud to offer is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), led by our psychologist, Shedean, here at Invicta.
What is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR is a structured, evidence-based psychotherapy that helps individuals process and heal from traumatic memories. It uses guided eye movements or other bilateral stimulation techniques to reduce the emotional intensity of distressing memories, allowing the brain to reprocess them in a healthier way.
Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR focuses on the way trauma is stored in the brain and body. It helps clients resolve traumatic experiences faster and with long-lasting results.
The Evidence Behind EMDR
Research shows EMDR is highly effective in treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), as well as anxiety, depression, and phobias.
The World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Psychological Association (APA) both recognize EMDR as a frontline treatment for PTSD.
A 2017 meta-analysis published in Frontiers in Psychology found EMDR to be as effective as trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), with faster symptom reduction.
EMDR has been shown to significantly improve sleep, mood regulation, and daily functioning in trauma survivors.
How Shedean Uses EMDR at Invicta Performance
At Invicta, Shedean integrates EMDR into a holistic care plan tailored to each client. Whether someone is coping with past trauma, struggling with anxiety, or facing barriers to emotional resilience, EMDR provides a pathway toward healing.
Because Invicta is a multidisciplinary clinic, clients often benefit from combined care: for example, psychology alongside chiropractic, physiotherapy, or nutrition coaching. This integrated model supports both the body and mind.
