What Is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR is an evidence-based form of psychotherapy originally developed to help people heal from trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (often guided eye movements, tapping, or sounds) to help the brain process painful memories and reduce their emotional impact.
Research has shown that EMDR can help the brain “reprocess” traumatic experiences so they no longer feel as overwhelming, allowing individuals to move forward with greater peace and resilience.
What EMDR Therapy Helps With
While EMDR was first used for PTSD, it has also proven effective for a wide range of challenges, including:
Past trauma or abuse
Anxiety and panic attacks
Grief and loss
Phobias and fears
Depression linked to unresolved experiences
Stress and emotional disturbances
Low self-worth related to past events
How EMDR Works
In EMDR therapy, you’ll work with a trained therapist who guides you through a structured process:
History & Preparation – Understanding your background and building trust.
Target Identification – Identifying memories or distressing experiences to process.
Desensitization – Using bilateral stimulation (eye movements, tapping, or sounds) while recalling the memory in a safe, controlled way.
Reprocessing & Relief – The brain begins to “reframe” the memory, reducing its emotional intensity.
Over time, clients often notice that the memory no longer feels as painful or triggering, and they can move forward without being held back by the past.
