What is EMDR Therapy?

Understanding our Method of Healing

Understanding Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy designed to help individuals process and heal from trauma, distressing experiences, and negative thought patterns.

 

Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR focuses on the brain’s natural ability to recover from emotional wounds by engaging in bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements, tapping, or auditory cues.

How EMDR Works

Bilateral Stimulation at it's Best!

During an EMDR session, the therapist helps the client recall distressing memories while simultaneously engaging in bilateral stimulation, which allows the brain to reprocess the traumatic experience.

 

This method reduces the emotional intensity of past experiences, making it easier for individuals to develop healthier beliefs and coping mechanisms.

Why choose an EDMR Therapist?

​

  • Minimal Verbal Processing: EMDR does not require excessive talking about traumatic events, making it ideal for those who struggle to verbalize their experiences.

​

  • Long-Lasting Healing: EMDR addresses the root cause of distress rather than just managing symptoms, leading to long-term emotional well-being.

​

  • Backed by Research: EMDR is recognized by major health organizations, including the American Psychological Association and the World Health Organization, as an effective treatment for trauma and stress-related disorders.
