EMDR is a powerful, evidence-based therapy specifically designed to aid in trauma recovery and help individuals overcome distressing experiences, anxiety, and other emotional challenges. Through the EMDR process, guided eye movements facilitate the processing of painful memories, reducing their emotional impact. This enables you to move forward feeling calmer, stronger, and more in control.
When something traumatic happens, the brain can become “stuck” in how it processes that memory. The EMDR process helps unlock and reprocess those memories, facilitating trauma recovery so they no longer trigger the same distressing emotions or physical reactions. This evidence-based therapy is effective in helping individuals move past their trauma.
Together we will: Identify a memory or experience that still causes distress as part of the EMDR process. Engage in gentle bilateral stimulation through eye movements, tapping, or sounds, which are integral to this evidence-based therapy. Reprocess the memory in a safe, supported way to aid in trauma recovery. Reconnect with a more adaptive, peaceful perspective.
Each EMDR session is conducted at your pace, in a safe and supportive environment, making it an effective part of the EMDR process. I will help you prepare, set goals, and ensure you feel comfortable before we begin the reprocessing work, which is a crucial aspect of trauma recovery. You remain in control at all times — EMDR does not involve hypnosis or reliving trauma in detail. Instead, it serves as an evidence-based therapy that helps you process and release what your mind and body have been holding onto.
