What is EMDR Therapy?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a powerful, evidence-based treatment designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences. EMDR works by allowing the brain to reprocess distressing memories in a safe, structured way, reducing the emotional charge they hold.

Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR doesn’t require you to retell your trauma in detail. Instead, it focuses on how distressing memories are stored in the brain, and helps your brain “unstick” these memories, allowing them to be processed in a healthier way so they no longer cause intense reactions.

How EMDR Works for Trauma and PTSD

Gradually reduce the emotional intensity of these memories while building positive beliefs about yourself.

Identify distressing memories contributing to your current symptoms.

Use bilateral stimulation techniques, like eye movements or tapping, to assist your brain in reprocessing these memories.

This approach makes EMDR especially effective for those struggling with:

  • PTSD and flashbacks

  • Childhood trauma and emotional neglect

  • Anxiety and panic attacks

  • Self-esteem issues linked to past experiences

  • Relationship strain due to unresolved trauma
