EMDR therapy can help you recover from trauma and a wide range of adverse life experiences.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy that is scientifically proven to help people recover from trauma and a wide range of adverse life experiences. EMDR was developed in the late 1980s by Francine Shapiro, PhD., and is endorsed by leading health organizations across the globe.

EMDR targets unprocessed memories stuck in the brain and body from painful past experiences. These stored memories hold painful emotions, distressing body sensations, and negative thoughts and beliefs that keep us stuck in reliving the past. These stuck memories are the basis of current problems.

Your EMDR therapist guides you through the eight-phases of treatment which can take up to several weeks or several months. During a reprocessing session, you will briefly focus attention on a distressing image, negative belief, painful emotion, or body sensation related to the memory. Your therapist will guide you in directed eye-movements, hand-tapping, or auditory tones to activate your brain’s healing system as unpleasant thoughts, feelings, and body sensations fade away.
