“I understand it logically, but I still feel it deeply.”
“I’m tired of being triggered by things I thought I was over.”
“I’ve done therapy before, but this still comes up.”
Those are some things we hear from clients more often than not.
People often turn to EMDR when they feel stuck — when past experiences continue to affect their emotions, relationships, or sense of self, even after talk therapy or time has passed.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and reprocessing) is a type of therapy that helps people heal from distressing and traumatic experiences, including thoughts and experiences that bring distress and strong emotional reactions.
It’s especially useful for things like Trauma, anxiety, or painful memories that makes you feel 'stuck.'"
How does it work?
When something really upsetting happens, sometimes the brain has trouble fully processing it, so the memory stays kind of ‘frozen’—like it’s still happening. And sometimes it keeps coming back and bringing the same feelings and thoughts. EMDR helps your brain finish that natural healing process."
EMDR helps your brain reprocess the memory and thoughts in a healthier way, so it feels less upsetting over time.
