Understanding EMDR Therapy

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a powerful, evidence-based treatment that helps you heal from trauma and emotional difficulties. By working with your brain's natural healing capabilities, EMDR can help you process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact on your daily life.

How EMDR Works

EMDR therapy harnesses your brain's natural healing abilities through bilateral stimulation - similar to the way your body naturally heals a physical wound. During sessions, you'll experience:

  • Gentle bilateral stimulation through eye movements or other methods

  • A safe environment to process difficult memories

  • Reduced emotional intensity of traumatic memories

  • Integration of new, healthy perspectives about your experiences
