What is EMDR ?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a specialized therapy used to help people heal from trauma, painful memories, and experiences that feel “stuck.” It was developed in the late 1980s and is now one of the most researched and effective methods for treating trauma.

Instead of relying only on talk therapy, EMDR helps the brain reprocess overwhelming memories so they no longer feel as intense, intrusive, or triggering. Many people describe EMDR as finally being able to “move past” something their mind and body have been holding onto.

How EMDR Works

When something traumatic or deeply upsetting happens, the brain can become overwhelmed and unable to fully process the event. This can cause memories to get “frozen” with all their original emotions, body sensations, and beliefs. EMDR helps restart the brain’s natural healing process using something called bilateral stimulation, usually eye movements, tapping, or sounds that move back and forth. This is similar to how the brain processes information during REM sleep. During EMDR, you're gently guided to focus on a distressing memory while also engaging in this bilateral stimulation. Over time, the memory becomes less emotionally charged, and people often gain new, healthier ways of understanding the event.

Conditions EMDR Can Help With

Although EMDR is well known for treating PTSD, it can also support healing for:

Anxiety or panic
Depression
Grief and loss
Childhood trauma
Phobias
Chronic stress
Performance blocks
Low self-esteem
Relationship trauma
Sleep issues
Painful or intrusive memories
Life transitions
Medical or accident-related trauma

EMDR does not require you to retell every detail of your trauma. The focus is on helping your brain reprocess what feels stuck so you can move forward.
