What is EMDR?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy is an integrative psychotherapy approach proven effective for the treatment of trauma. EMDR uses your own rapid, rhythmic eye movements to reduce the distress of emotionally charged memories of past traumatic events. EMDR creates new neuropathways to bring healing … and hope.

How Does EMDR Work?

Unlike traditional treatments which address only the symptoms, EMDR directly attacks the root cause of your emotional pain, addressing the problem at its source. When traumatic events happen, your brain can’t process the memories normally. These unprocessed thoughts become associated with pain, anger, fear, and emotional distress.

Unfortunately, if these emotional associations are not broken, you will continue to experience the same distress over and over. EMDR allows you to access and process these memories, breaking once and for all their hold on you.

Who can benefit from EMDR therapy?

Therapists use EMDR therapy to address a wide range of challenges:

  • Anxiety, panic attacks, and phobias
  • Depression and bipolar disorders
  • Dissociative disorders
  • Grief and loss
  • Pain
  • Performance anxiety
  • Personality disorders
  • PTSD and other trauma and stress-related issues
  • Sexual assault
  • Substance abuse and addiction
  • Violence and abuse
