Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a psychotherapy approach primarily used to treat trauma-related disorders, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), as well as general maladaptive thought-behavior patterns stemming from trauma history, including complex trauma.
The underlying principle of EMDR is that traumatic experiences, including distressing emotions, negative thought patterns and beliefs, can be stored in the brain’s sub-conscious memory networks, leading to maladaptive thought and behavioral reactions to certain “triggering” stimuli. EMDR aims to help the brain reprocess such memories, resulting in the re-wiring of maladaptive sub-conscious memory networks and more positive thought patterns and adaptive behavioral responses to historically triggering stimuli.
It may be time to seek EMDR Therapy when you are struggling with trauma, anxiety, or distressing memories that interfere with your daily life. If traditional therapies have not provided relief or if you feel stuck in your healing journey. Below are some things EMDR therapy may help with:
Comprehensive care addressing mind, body, and spirit needs
Tailored therapy focusing on individual client needs and goals.
Informed treatment guided by scientific research and proven methods.
Your therapist will assume a person-centered approach in your counseling, which means you’ll be given the freedom to choose the focus of your therapy and will have the opportunity to lead discussion. Your therapist will encourage and support you with feedback and suggestions, as well as guide the therapeutic process without interfering with your process of self-discovery. It also means your therapist will serve as a compassionate facilitator, listen without interruption or judgment, and will acknowledge your experience, without invalidating or discounting it, or moving discussion in a direction you don’t want it to go
Take care of what matters most.
