EMDR: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
Heal memories. Reduce symptoms.
Memories shape the brain. Unprocessed memories can cause challenges.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapy that helps people deal with trauma and distressing experiences. EMDR uses the theory that trauma can interrupt how the brain processes memories, causing issues like anxiety and flashbacks. EMDR helps people reprocess these memories to reduce their negative effects and improve coping skills. This evidence-based therapy is effective for issues like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety disorders, and some phobias.

how i can help
EMDR helps the brain consolidate memories thus improving symptoms.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapeutic approach designed to help individuals process and overcome traumatic experiences. During EMDR sessions, a therapist guides clients through a series of standardized procedures that involve recalling distressing memories while simultaneously engaging in bilateral stimulation, typically through guided eye movements. This process helps to facilitate the integration of these memories, reducing their emotional charge and allowing individuals to reframe their experiences. EMDR is recognized for its effectiveness in treating conditions such as PTSD, anxiety, and depression, providing a structured yet empathetic framework for healing. Many find that, with EMDR, they can achieve a sense of resolution and relief from the impact of their past.
Relief may look like:
Anxiety Reduction
Being more emotionally balanced
Living free from difficult memories
