EMDR offers you the chance to access your most painful memories from a space of security and intention and truly heal.
The key difference between EMDR and many other therapies is that you won’t be subjected to re-traumatizing conversations that draw out and focus on the source of your struggles.
Also, it’s likely you’ll need fewer EMDR sessions to move through more in-depth issues.

How it works
We’ll use bilateral stimulation like eye movement or tapping to help you access your memories while remaining firmly rooted in the present moment. The bilateral stimulation will support you in dulling the triggering impact of those memories while your therapist helps you to gently move through whatever comes up. As you work on remaining in the bilaterally stimulated headspace, your brain is working to make sense of your trauma through a gentle re-filing of the way your mind is processing that memory.
How will I know it’s working?
When EMDR is working, you’ll begin to notice less distress. The goal is to reduce your emotional distress and increase your natural coping capacity.
When EMDR works, it may look like:
Healthier thought processes
Better emotional regulation
Improved sleeping habits
Increased productivity
Elevated moods
Effective stress management
Enhanced memory
Boosted immune system

We don’t get rewrites in life, but EMDR comes close.
