Using ERT

An introduction to ERT from Nick Adams, ERT researcher & developer

What ERT clients say...

"I was amazed at how fast I felt a weight lift off my shoulders after only one session. Before the session, I found it difficult emotionally to recall the event but immediately after the session I felt more at peace and like I could talk about the situation without feeling overwhelmed; it felt amazing to feel progress after only one session. It's helped me learn to trust my mind and body's ability to shake off the feeling of panic and understand that it's just a temporary feeling so I don't need to go into fight or flight mode all the time. I cannot recommend ERT enough."

"After having to deal with a horrific case at work I underwent ERT. This enabled me to process the situation and continue with my role as a social worker in an effective manner. ERT meant I didn't have to discuss the situation thus not breaching GDPR but was able to get the support and intervention I required."

*ERT Study

A 23 person pilot study undertaken in 2023 demonstrated the efficacy of ERT. Participants aged between 13 to 70 presented with a range of psychological problems include trauma, anxiety and phobias.

Participants gave pre and post therapy SUD ratings and were evaluated against IES-R. They were followed up at one and three months to assess SUD and IES-R ratings post therapy. ERT was shown to significantly reduce participants distress and this was maintained across the one month and three month follow up points.
