Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

The Past is Present

Our bodies remember big events, and in turn, those moments continue to impact relationships and how we feel about ourselves. The word ‘big’ doesn’t mean the size of moment, but your body’s internal experience of it.

No one can tell you what trauma is to you.

When you find yourself struggling and unsure why or how to move forward, EMDR can help you move through your experiences, find your peace and help you show up more intentionally with yourself and those you love.

  • Feeling overwhelmed

  • Often irritable

  • Nervous or scared for no reason

  • Disappointed in your life

  • Focused on safety

  • Trouble letting for of memories or experiences

  • Avoiding things that remind you of past events or people

  • Difficulty in maintaining strong relationships 

Trauma may feel like:

EMDR has been studied extensively and shown to be effective in helping people recover from trauma and symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as well as for other conditions like anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), chronic pain, addictions, and other difficult experiences in life.

It uses a structured approach where the patient focuses on the memory of the trauma for a short time while also experiencing a type of stimulation, usually moving their eyes back and forth. This stimulation helps reduce the intensity and strong emotions connected to the traumatic memories.

If you find your healing is stuck or you just can’t seem to let go of certain feelings or experiences, EMDR may be a good fit.

Why EMDR?

EMDR uses your brain’s innate method of healing to alleviate the pain and difficulty related to a traumatic experience. Through the use of bilateral stimulation (BLS), often through eye movement, EMDR can accelerate the healing process in comparison to traditional talk therapy.

In session, you will first engage with your therapist in identifying the upsetting memories or symptoms, learn and practice ways to calm your nervous system before addressing specific traumatic memories or experiences.

Through your work with your therapist, you will tailor your experience to your specific needs and wants. This may include somatic work, sand tray, art, breathwork, visualization, etc. Because EMDR harnesses your own natural healing pathways, you can feel in control of your work in session.
