EMDR


Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful, evidence-based therapy designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR uses guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation to help the brain reprocess distressing memories, reducing their emotional impact and allowing for more adaptive beliefs to take their place.

How Does EMDR Work?

Imagine your mind as a cluttered closet. Over time, experiences—both good and bad—get stored inside. Some are neatly folded and easy to access, while others are stuffed in haphazardly, making it hard to find what you need.

EMDR therapy works like a professional organizer for your mind. By engaging both sides of your brain while you revisit difficult memories in a safe environment, EMDR helps you sort through the mess, fold away the painful experiences properly, and make space for new, positive thoughts.

You’ll still know what’s in your closet, but it will be orderly and manageable—freeing up room for clarity, confidence, and emotional balance.

“You’ve sometimes got to go back and to deal with really uncomfortable situations and to be able to process it in order to be able to heal. For me, therapy has equipped me to be able to take on anything." "That's why I'm here now.
