What Is EMDR Therapy?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a revolutionary treatment approach that helps your brain process traumatic memories naturally. Unlike traditional counseling, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation through guided eye movements to help reprocess stuck memories, reducing their emotional impact and allowing genuine healing to occur.

This extensively researched therapy has proven effective for treating Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), anxiety disorders, depression, panic attacks, chronic pain, substance abuse, and many other conditions. EMDR follows standardized protocols through eight structured phases, ensuring safe and effective treatment for each client.

How EMDR Works: The Science of Healing

When you experience trauma, your brain’s natural processing system can become overwhelmed, causing disturbing memories to remain unprocessed. These memories continue to trigger intense emotions, body sensations, and negative beliefs long after the event. EMDR therapy activates your brain’s natural healing mechanisms, similar to what occurs during REM sleep.

During EMDR sessions, you’ll focus on specific memories while following guided eye movements. This movement desensitization and reprocessing technique helps your brain integrate traumatic experiences, transforming them from triggering memories into manageable past events. The process allows you to remember what happened without being overwhelmed by associated emotions and physical symptoms.

EMDR therapy follows standardized protocols through eight phases:

  1. History and Treatment Planning: Comprehensive assessment of your experiences and development of personalized treatment goals
  2. Preparation: Learning coping skills and establishing a therapeutic safe place before memory processing
  3. Assessment: Identifying target memories and associated beliefs, emotions, and body sensations
