What is emdr therapy?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based approach that helps the brain process and integrate difficult experiences that haven’t been fully resolved. It’s especially helpful for traumatic experiences, attachment issues, chronic shame, and painful beliefs about self-worth and safety. Through bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements or tapping) EMDR helps your brain integrate these experiences and emotions in a way that brings relief, connection, and a sense of internal coherence.

What EMDR Looks Like in Our Work Together

Our first priority will be creating a connection between us and helping you access a sense of calm and safety.

Before we begin EMDR reprocessing, we’ll develop tools for grounding and self-regulation, and develop a plan for our work. Together, we’ll tend to the memories and beliefs that have been holding pain—and help your system release what it’s been carrying with the help of bilateral stimulation.
