What is it? 

The Basics

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a powerful therapeutic approach that can help individuals overcome the effects of traumatic experiences and other distressing life events. 

​

In EMDR therapy, we use a comprehensive eight-phase process to address the past, present, and future aspects of a person's traumatic experiences or distressing memories. This therapy incorporates bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements, taps, or sounds, to facilitate the processing and integration of these experiences. 

 

By engaging in EMDR therapy, clients have the opportunity to reprocess traumatic memories in a safe and controlled environment. This allows for the resolution of emotional distress, the reduction of negative beliefs and triggers, and the development of more adaptive coping mechanisms. 

 

EMDR has been shown to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety disorders, phobias, depression, addiction, and more. It can help individuals regain a sense of control, reduce the intensity of distressing emotions, and improve overall well-being.

 

If you are looking for a therapeutic approach that can address the root causes of your emotional pain and provide lasting relief, EMDR may be a valuable tool for your healing journey. Schedule a consultation to learn more about how EMDR therapy can support your specific needs and goals.
