What is EMDR?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) is an envidenced based therapy used to reduce disturbing memories or thoughts. EMDR differs from talk therapy in that the client is asked to briefly concentrate on the traumatic memories while also focusing on bilateral stimulation which taxes the working memory. This enhances the coordination of the amygdala, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex which together, processes the information and reduces the disturbance.

Brain-Based Healing

EMDR works with how the brain stores and processes memories, not just thoughts or behaviors.

How EMDR Helps the Brain Heal

Step 01

Identify the memory or issue

We focus on experiences that feel emotionally charged or continue to affect your present life.

Step 02

Activate bilateral stimulation

This may include guided eye movements, alternating sounds, or gentle tapping.

Step 03

Identify the memory or issue

The brain begins to integrate the memory in a new way, reducing emotional intensity.

Step 04

Strengthen healthier beliefs

Negative beliefs often shift into more balanced, compassionate ones.
