EMDR Therapy
What is EMDR?
Are you tired of being triggered by memories that won’t let go?
Do you avoid situations that remind you of the past?
Do certain people, places, or sounds instantly bring up old fear or pain?
Would you like to remember your past without reliving it?
If these questions resonate with you, EMDR may be a powerful next step.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps your brain naturally resolve the emotional pain of past experiences — without needing to relive them in detail.
When something overwhelming happens, the brain sometimes can’t fully process it — leaving memories, emotions, and body sensations “frozen” in the nervous system. EMDR helps the brain reprocess these experiences safely, so they lose their emotional charge and integrate as part of your past, rather than something you continue to relive.
EMDR combines elements of cognitive therapy with bilateral stimulation (like guided eye movements, tapping, or sounds), which supports the brain’s natural ability to safely reprocess trauma, release old emotional patterns, and restore balance.
The result is greater calm, clarity, and freedom to live fully in the present moment.
People who complete EMDR often report:
A significant reduction in trauma or anxiety symptoms
Relief from intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, or nightmares
Greater emotional stability and calm
Improved self-worth and confidence
Freedom from triggers or old patterns
Ability to remember past events without being overwhelmed
Renewed sense of safety and presence in daily life
Safety & Considerations
EMDR should be facilitated by a certified EMDR therapist.
It’s structured, but paced for your safety — you’ll never be pushed beyond what your nervous system can handle.
The process doesn’t require detailed verbal recounting of trauma; it works through the brain’s innate healing mechanisms.
