EMDR

Processing Trapped Memories

Are you feeling stuck in the past, unable to move forward from painful memories or overwhelming emotions? Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a transformative therapy designed to help you process trapped memories to heal and thrive.

What is EMDR Therapy?

EMDR is a powerful, evidence-based approach that helps reprocess and release the emotional pain tied to traumatic events. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR engages your brain’s natural healing mechanisms through guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation.

How EMDR Therapy Works

• Targeting Distress: EMDR focuses on specific traumatic memories or disturbing thoughts that are causing emotional pain or psychological blocks.

• Bilateral Stimulation: During therapy, clients engage in bilateral stimulation, such as following the therapist’s hand movements with their eyes, listening to alternating sounds, or tapping rhythmically. This process helps reprocess distressing memories.

• Reprocessing Trauma:The goal is to reduce the emotional charge and negative beliefs associated with the memory, enabling the client to view the experience in a less distressing way.

• Integration: Through EMDR, the mind and body work together to integrate and resolve past experiences, fostering a sense of relief and empowerment.
