EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful, evidence-based therapy that helps people heal from traumatic experiences, distressing memories, and deeply held negative beliefs—without having to relive the pain in detail.
When something overwhelming happens, the brain may not fully process the experience. These unprocessed memories can get "stuck," showing up later as anxiety, intrusive thoughts, low self-worth, or emotional reactivity. EMDR helps the brain do what it couldn’t do at the time: reprocess the memory and store it in a way that feels resolved, rather than triggering.
EMDR therapy can help with:- Trauma and PTSD (both single events and complex trauma)
- Anxiety, phobias, and panic
- Grief and loss
- Attachment wounds and relational trauma
- Negative beliefs like “I’m not safe” or “I’m not good enough”
Through a structured, eight-phase process, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements, tapping, or sound) to support the brain’s natural healing process. The experience becomes less intense, and your relationship to it begins to shift—making space for more ease, clarity, and self-compassion.
EMDR is a gentle yet effective approach that honors your pace and your readiness. You don’t have to talk about every detail to experience relief. With the right support, your brain knows how to heal.
