What is EMDR?

When you cut your finger, your mind and body work towards healing it. However, if the wound isn't cleaned, it gets irritated and causes intense pain. Unless the injury is cleaned and the blockage is removed, the healing can't begin. The same thing happens with mental processes. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or EMDR therapy, is a highly effective therapy that identifies and removes the emotional wound that was causing intense suffering and helps you move towards healing and peace.

How Can EMDR Therapy Help?

While EMDR has been developed for the treatment of trauma, it is effective in helping individuals with anxiety, chronic pain, stress, and anger issues. It has also been used successfully to treat substance abuse problems and eating disorders.

What To Expect?

At the start of your session, you and a trained EMDR therapists work together to identify the original memories or situations that are causing the emotional pain. These are the core traumas that have caused distress and are targets for reprocessing. Your therapist will show you different ways of reducing distress during and between sessions. The goal is to promote effective and rapid healing while keeping you in a peaceful state of mind.

How Does EMDR Work?

During your session, the EMDR therapist directs your eye movements while you relive small doses of your targeted traumatic memories. By using bilateral eye movements during your EMDR sessions, your therapist can help your brain slowly but surely process these traumatic memories without having to rehash them completely on its own first, making them easier to face and overcome.
