Therapy
​What is EMDR Therapy?
​​
Do you ever feel like the past keeps showing up in the present?
Like your reactions are bigger than the moment seems to call for?
​​
Maybe certain situations or people trigger something deep inside of you, leaving you overwhelmed, reactive, or shut down.
​
Trauma isn’t just a memory - it lives in our bodies, our nervous system, and in the deep beliefs we carry about ourselves. We don’t always remember exactly what happened, especially in our early years or in emotionally invalidating relationships - but our bodies remember. And those imprints can echo through our present-day thoughts, emotions, and relationships.
EMDR stands for eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. It is an evidence-based approach that helps your brain and nervous system naturally reprocess distressing memories and shift deeply held, often unconscious patterns, so you can feel lighter, more free, and more at peace.
​
How does EMDR work?
​
EMDR works similarly to how the brain processes experiences during REM sleep. It uses bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or tapping, to activate the brain’s innate healing capacity, allowing past experiences to be safely reprocessed and integrated in a supportive, grounded way.​
​​
EMDR is an extensively researched, effective, trauma-focused psychotherapy proven to help people recover from PTSD symptoms, anxiety, depression, relational trauma, attachment-based wounds, recent traumatic incidents, OCD, chronic pain, and addictions, often in as little as months as opposed to years.​​
