EMDR Therapy

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy is a powerful, structured therapy that helps people process and heal from traumatic experiences, distressing memories and the impact of stressful life events. It’s especially effective for helping relieve symptoms of trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and early childhood trauma.

How EMDR works

When something really overwhelming happens, our brains can sometimes struggle to process and make sense of it, which can leave certain memories ‘stuck’ in the nervous system. These ‘stuck’ memories can negatively influence how we feel about ourselves, how we see and respond to new situations, and may lead to painful thoughts and feelings ‘popping up’ when we least expect them.

EMDR helps ‘clear’ these stuck experiences so your brain can do what it’s meant to do – heal and build resiliency.

Rather than talking in detail about past events, EMDR uses guided eye movements or tapping, to change how traumatic memories are stored in the brain, so they are no longer as vivid or emotionally charged in the present.

Transforming Perspectives

EMDR can lead to a significant reduction in symptoms like anxiety, intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, and hypervigilance. Many clients share feeling calmer, lighter and more present within just a few sessions.  EMDR also supports the brain’s ability to handle new challenges more effectively, fostering greater self-confidence and emotional resilience.

My own personal experiences with EMDR therapy, and seeing the positive shifts in my EMDR clients in session, inspires me to share this powerful modality so that others may also find healing.

Whether you’re looking to resolve trauma or find relief from constant anxiety and negative beliefs, EMDR can help you move forward with less distress and more resiliency.
