EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

What is EMDR Therapy?
​
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a therapy approach that helps people heal from the emotional impact of difficult or traumatic experiences. Whether you're dealing with a single upsetting event or long-term stress, EMDR is designed to help your brain reprocess those memories so they no longer feel as intense or overwhelming.
What makes EMDR different is that it doesn’t rely solely on talking. Instead, it uses bilateral stimulation—such as guided eye movements, tapping, or sounds—to help activate the brain’s natural healing process. This helps shift the way painful memories are stored and experienced.
​
How EMDR Works:
During a session, you’ll work with your therapist to focus on a specific memory or feeling while engaging in bilateral stimulation. Over time, the emotional charge connected to that memory tends to fade, making space for more clarity, calm, and resilience.
