What is EMDR and how does it work?
EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is one of the most researched trauma treatments available. It works by helping your brain reprocess painful memories that got stuck, stored in a way that keeps triggering the same emotional response, over and over, even when you are safe.
During EMDR your therapist guides you through bilateral stimulation, typically eye movements or tapping, while you hold a difficult memory in mind. This process helps the brain do what it was not able to do at the time, process the experience and file it as something that happened in the past, not something that is still happening now.
You do not have to narrate the trauma in detail. Many people who felt stuck in traditional talk therapy find that EMDR reaches something that words alone could not get to.
What EMDR helps with
EMDR was developed for PTSD, and it works well beyond it.
PTSD and complex trauma
Single events or years of accumulated experience, EMDR helps process what got stuck and reduce the intensity of traumatic memories.
Childhood and developmental trauma
The early experiences that shaped how you see yourself and the world. EMDR reaches the roots in a way that talk therapy often cannot.
Anxiety rooted in past experiences
When anxiety is tied to specific memories or learned responses, EMDR can help reprocess the original experience rather than just managing the symptoms.
Trauma and neurodivergence
EMDR is adapted for neurodivergent clients, we understand how ADHD and autism affect processing and adjust accordingly.
People who have tried therapy before
If talk therapy helped but only went so far, or if you have been in therapy for years and still feel stuck, EMDR often reaches what other approaches could not.
Grief and loss
Complicated grief, sudden loss, or grief that has not moved, EMDR helps process what the mind has struggled to integrate.
Common questions about EMDR
Can EMDR be done virtually?
Yes. Our EMDR trained therapists offer virtual EMDR using adapted bilateral stimulation techniques that work effectively through a screen.
How many sessions does it take?
It depends on what you are working on. Some people notice shifts in just a few sessions. Complex or long-standing trauma typically takes longer. Your therapist will give you a clearer picture after your first few sessions.
