EMDR Therapy
Reprocessing what the brain could not fully integrate.
PROCESS
You're triggered.
EMDR Therapy works with memories and experiences that continue to carry an emotional or physiological charge.
Rather than relying only on talking through what happened, EMDR helps the brain process memories, beliefs, emotions, sensations, and responses in a different way.
EMDR helps the brain process experiences that continue to trigger or activate a response in the present.
What is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It is a structured therapy that uses bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements or alternating tapping, while you bring attention to a memory, image, belief, emotion, or body sensation.
The aim is to help distressing experiences become less immediate and less activating in the present.
HOW EMDR WORKS
01
Identify
Identifying the memories, beliefs, emotions, sensations, or situations that continue to feel charged or unresolved.
02
Process
Using bilateral stimulation, noticing what arises as memories, associations, emotions, and sensations begin to shift.
03
Integrate
The experience becomes more fully connected to the past, allowing new meanings, responses, and perspectives to emerge.
EMDR can help with:
+PTSD
+Complex trauma
+Childhood trauma
+Relational trauma
+Anxiety
+Medical trauma
+Distressing memories
+Persistent triggers
+Negative beliefs connected to earlier experiences
+Reactions that feel much bigger than what is happening now
Creating More Space in the Present
I use EMDR flexibly as part of a broader relational and mind-body approach. Processing may happen in focused periods or be woven into longer-term therapy depending on what you need.
The aim is not to erase the past. It is to help experiences feel more fully processed so they have less power to pull you out of the present.
