What is EMDR Therapy?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapeutic approach designed to help individuals heal from trauma, anxiety, PTSD, phobias, and deeply held negative beliefs about themselves. Using guided eye movements, gentle tapping, or auditory cues, EMDR supports the brain in reprocessing difficult memories, lessening their emotional intensity.

What makes EMDR unique is its ability to deliver effective relief more quickly than traditional talk therapy, helping people regain a sense of calm and control without erasing or forgetting their experiences. During sessions, a therapist guides you through specific eye movements while you focus on a challenging memory—gradually reducing its emotional weight.

For those who carry the burden of past trauma, EMDR can be a powerful step toward emotional balance and forward movement. If unresolved experiences are still impacting your daily life, exploring EMDR with a trained therapist may be a valuable option.

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • Absolutely! EMDR can be used virtually with the same effect as in-person.

  • The number of sessions needed can vary depending on the individual and the complexity of the issues being addressed.

  • During the initial sessions, your therapist will work with you to build trust, understand your concerns, and establish a sense of safety. Only once this foundation is in place will the therapist begin the EMDR process, ensuring you're fully prepared and comfortable to start addressing the trauma effectively.

  • While EMDR helps you process difficult memories, it does not force you to relive traumatic events in a way that feels unsafe. The goal is to reduce the emotional intensity of the memories, not to re-traumatize you. Our therapists ensures the process is manageable and safe.
