EMDR Therapy

When you see everything through the lens of past events…

You’re locked in place… unable to move forward. What happened back then has a way of happening again and again in your present.

The painful fragments of bad memories, images, sounds, smells, and sensations keep you from living fully. Often, it’s all you can do to hold yourself together.

Your brain once tried to process and integrate the trauma, but it got interrupted.

Fortunately, we have a way of fixing that.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapy that lets you reprocess stored trauma so your brain can integrate it in a healthy way.

Rather than focusing on changing the problematic thoughts, emotions, or behaviors associated with past distress, we focus on allowing your brain to resume its natural healing process – the one that was interrupted when the trauma occurred.

And this is what’s great about EMDR…

It doesn’t require talking in detail about the distressing issue or completing homework between sessions.

Here’s how it works…

EMDR stimulates both sides of your brain using a light that you follow on the screen… or tapping different body parts as you reflect on the negative memories or beliefs you want to target.

It kind of works like magic, but the back-and-forth eye movements (similar to what happens when you dream) desensitize you to the original experience.

During therapy, we’ll discuss your experiences, develop new insights, and shift your perspective on what happened.

You won’t forget it, but it won’t carry the pain or affect your mind and body as it did before the therapy.

You have everything inside you to heal…

You just need to tap into it. That’s what we do with EMDR.

Together, we’ll embark on a journey that reveals the inner workings of who you are.

It’s time to unburden yourself and start living your most authentic life!

What happened does NOT define you as a person. Call now, and we’ll schedule your free consultation: (757) 618-9990.
