How the therapy is structured
- Step 1
Address the driver (Repton)
Using 8-phase EMDR protocol and, where useful, Flash technique, we work at the level the pattern actually runs on. In DE65 this is often shaped by parental perfectionism.
- Step 2
Review and adjust
Every few sessions we step back and check the direction — nothing is done to you without your say-so. For Repton clients that usually means allowing for parental perfectionism.
- Step 3
Start with regulation
Nothing is processed while your nervous system is dysregulated. Sessions begin with body-level tools that work the same day. Travel from Repton is 8 miles, so this stage is often done online.
