EMDR Therapy
What You Need to Know
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), grounded in extensive research, is a type of therapy used to help people who have experienced traumatic events or distressing life experiences. It's a bit like a mental first aid kit that helps your brain process difficult memories and feelings so they don't feel as overwhelming.
How it works
During EMDR therapy, your therapist will guide you through a series of techniques designed to help your brain reprocess traumatic memories in a safe and controlled way. This might involve focusing on certain memories while also paying attention to things like eye movements, sounds, or taps. These techniques help your brain make new connections and reduce the emotional charge of those memories, making them feel more manageable over time.
What to Expect
In an EMDR therapy session, you'll work closely with your therapist to identify specific memories or experiences that are causing you distress. You'll then process those memories in a way that feels safe and controlled. EMDR is a globally recognized and evidence-based practice that decreases symptoms of distress and helps people feel more in control of their emotions and reactions.
