Highlands Recovery integrates EMDR therapy with group sessions for comprehensive trauma treatment. The program includes reprocessing, stabilization, aftercare

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, February 10, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Highlands Recovery, a private rehabilitation centre nestled in the serene Southern Highlands of Australia, is proud to announce its innovative approach to trauma treatment. By integrating Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy with intensive private and group therapy sessions, Highlands Recovery aims to provide a more comprehensive and supportive environment for individuals seeking to overcome trauma-related conditions. This integrated approach recognises the importance of addressing both individual and collective healing in trauma recovery.

EMDR, an evidence-based psychotherapy approach developed by Francine Shapiro in the late 1980s, is designed to resolve unprocessed memories that can cause lasting psychological harm. These memories are often stored differently in the brain compared to normal memories, leading to persistent trauma symptoms. EMDR therapy aims to reprocess these memories, helping individuals integrate them in a healthier way, reducing distress and promoting adaptive resolution.

The core of EMDR therapy involves the use of bilateral stimulation—typically eye movements, but sometimes tapping or auditory tones—while the patient recalls distressing memories. This process is thought to facilitate the brain's natural healing processes, similar to how the brain processes experiences during REM sleep.

Highlands Recovery in Sydney combines EMDR with daily therapy sessions to create a structured and supportive setting where clients can benefit from emotional expression, coping strategy development, and trauma reprocessing.

Key Components of the Integrated Programme:
Daily Trauma Therapy: Led by the Clinical Team at Highlands Recovery, these sessions focus on creating a safe space where participants can connect, share experiences, and gain understanding Emotional safety is key in Trauma Therapy so people can share their stories without fear of being judged. This safe space builds trust and connection between people and makes the whole process more effective. The clinical team uses evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and EMDR to guide individuals through their emotional landscape.

Evidence-Based Trauma Reprocessing: During the Trauma Reprocessing phase, Highlands Recovery uses a range of evidence-based modalities including EMDR, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT), and Prolonged Exposure Therapy, tailored to each client’s individual needs to achieve trauma resolution.

Four-Phased Recovery Programme: The programme includes Stabilisation, Trauma Reprocessing, Integration, and Consolidation. Each stage addresses a different part of the recovery process, from calming the autonomic nervous system using biological and psychological tools like yoga and diet, to re-integrating back into daily life, ensuring comprehensive support.

Comprehensive Aftercare Programme: Highlands Recovery offers continuous therapeutic support essential for sustained recovery and long-term wellbeing. Virtual therapy sessions are available to support clients as they apply their new skills in real life. By learning from each other’s journeys participants can develop coping strategies that fit their own experience. The clinical team actively encourages this sharing of knowledge, reinforcing the idea that recovery is not a solo journey but a group effort.

Highlands Recovery is committed to helping initiate significant and lasting change in the lives of its clients. Their 360-degree approach to recovery includes medical treatment, if necessary, addiction counselling, psychotherapy, family therapy, and psychoeducation. Highlands Recovery offers treatments that double as personal self-care. Clients can foster long-term recovery and feel empowered on their way to personal wellness through somatic massage, equine therapy, strength and conditioning, and personal yoga sessions.
