KATE Garraway revealed she’s had the same EMDR therapy as Prince Harry to cope with her husband Derek Draper’s health battle.
The Duke of Sussex demonstrated a session of the therapy during his documentary, The Me You Can’t See, which involves recalling traumatic memories while making eye movements.
It is commonly a treatment used for post-traumatic stress disorder.
Good Morning Britain host Kate told co-star Ranvir Singh and Dr Amir Khan that she also uses the therapy following her husband Derek’s year-long battle with Covid.
He is the longest suffering Covid patient and was receiving 24 hour care in hospital for a year.
She said on Friday: “It’s called Eye Movement Desentisiation Reprocessing, a bit of a mouthful, I actually had a little bit of this.
“It’s not a million miles away from Cognitive Behavioural, processes like this.
“Less to do with therapy where you talk about your childhood, it’s more practical.”
Dr Amir explained: “People generally when they have had traumatic life experiences have a tendency to bury it away in their minds, and in their brains, and it stops them from healing.
“They then get things like Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and what this therapy aims to do is unlock some of that.
