What Is EMDR Therapy?

It’s hard to move forward when painful memories keep looping in your mind and showing up in moments when you least expect them. Maybe you’re dealing with sleepless nights by replaying the same event over and over, experiencing panic that seemingly comes from nowhere, or walking around with a constant sense of anxiety . . . even when life seems calm. Trauma doesn’t always look dramatic from the outside, but inside it can quietly drain your focus, energy, and joy. EMDR therapy can be an extremely effective approach that reframes traumatic events into less-consuming memories.

How Does EMDR Therapy Work?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a proven, evidence-based therapy that helps the brain process and file away traumatic memories so they stop feeling like they’re happening in real time. Instead of being emotionally, and sometimes physically, crippled by old experiences, you will begin to notice space for calmer days and better moments.

EMDR therapy is effective for a wide range of experiences to include:

  • Stress

  • Grief

  • Complicated relationships

  • Childhood Neglect & Abuse

  • Accidents

  • Domestic Abuse

Clients who once felt trapped in a cycle of intrusive memories often describe being able to recall the same experiences later, but without the panic, fear, or shame they once carried.
