EMDR / TRAUMA THERAPY
A pathway to healing
What is EMDR therapy?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a mind/body psychotherapy technique designed to relieve psychological stress. It is a structured therapy process that is integrative. EMDR focuses on the trauma memory while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation. This stimulation can be in the form of eye
movements or tapping. It is an exceptionally effective treatment for trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) by reducing the intensity and emotion associated with the trauma.
In short,
During EMDR therapy sessions, you access triggering experiences in brief doses while the therapist directs your eye movements or tapping.
Who benefits most?
People who are dealing with traumatic memories and those who have PTSD are thought to benefit the most from EMDR therapy. It’s thought to be particularly effective for those who struggle to talk about their past experiences.

-
