EMDR
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a therapy that helps people heal from painful or traumatic experiences by changing the way those memories affect them. When something overwhelming happens, the brain can struggle to process it fully, leaving the memory “stuck” and causing ongoing distress, like flashbacks, anxiety, or negative beliefs about yourself. EMDR uses simple techniques, like guided eye movements or tapping, to help your brain reprocess those memories so they feel less overwhelming and more manageable.
EMDR is designed to address the way distressing memories are stored in the brain. When a traumatic event occurs, the brain can become overwhelmed and unable to process the experience fully. These unprocessed memories often resurface as emotional triggers, flashbacks, or negative beliefs that can disrupt daily life. EMDR works to reprocess these memories, allowing your brain to heal naturally and reduce the emotional impact of past events.
During EMDR therapy, we’ll guide you through structured sessions that include gentle eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation (like tapping or audio tones). These techniques help your brain reprocess traumatic memories while you remain grounded in the present. You don’t have to relive the trauma—instead, we focus on helping you develop healthier responses and beliefs about the past.
EMDR has been extensively researched and is recognized as an effective treatment for:
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Anxiety and panic disorders
Depression
Grief and loss
Phobias
Self-esteem and negative core beliefs
