EMDR Therapy

How The Australian Institute for Human Wellness Can Help

Are you searching for effective trauma therapy in Sydney? At the Australian Institute for Human Wellness (AIHW) in Kogarah, our team of clinical psychologists and psychologists offers evidence-based EMDR therapy—an approach recently spotlighted by global superstar Miley Cyrus for its life-changing results. If you’re looking to heal from trauma, anxiety, or emotional distress, discover how EMDR can help you reclaim your wellbeing.

What Is EMDR Therapy?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured psychotherapy treatment designed to help people process and heal from traumatic memories and distressing life experiences. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (such as guided eye movements or tapping) to help your brain reprocess stuck memories, making them less distressing and easier to manage.

Key Benefits of EMDR:

  • Fast, effective results—often in fewer sessions than traditional therapy

  • No need to talk in detail about your trauma

  • Suitable for PTSD, anxiety, grief, performance anxiety, and more

  • Endorsed by leading health organisations including the World Health Organization and the Australian Psychological Society

Miley Cyrus and EMDR: Breaking the Stigma

When celebrities speak openly about mental health, it helps reduce stigma and encourages others to seek support. In a recent interview, Grammy-winning artist Miley Cyrus credited EMDR therapy with “saving her life,” helping her overcome stage fright, anxiety, and deep-rooted emotional pain. She described EMDR as a transformative experience, allowing her to process childhood and generational trauma and finally feel at peace with herself and her past.

“Love it. Saved my life.”
— Miley Cyrus on EMDR Therapy

Her story highlights how EMDR can help anyone—not just celebrities—move beyond anxiety, trauma, and self-limiting beliefs.
