Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a powerful therapy approach that helps people heal from trauma, anxiety, and other distressing experiences.
Sometimes, when something overwhelming happens, the brain has a hard time fully processing it. Those experiences can get “stuck,” showing up later as triggers, emotional reactivity, or patterns that feel hard to break.
EMDR is a research-backed therapy designed to help people heal from trauma and distressing life experiences. Using gentle, guided eye movements (or tapping or sound), we help the brain reprocess those memories so they feel less intense and no longer get in the way of your day-to-day life. This allows the emotional charge associated with those memories to decrease, so things in the present can be less overwhelming. Many people find EMDR to be a transformative part of their healing journey—especially those living with the effects of trauma or chronic stress.
EMDR works by helping your brain do what it naturally wants to do—heal. What’s great is that you don’t have to go into every detail of what happened; EMDR allows for deep healing in a structured, supportive way, and at your own pace.
