EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured therapy used to help people process and reduce the emotional distress tied to traumatic memories. Sessions typically include:
Assessment and preparation: The therapist gathers history, identifies target memories and symptoms, builds safety skills and grounding techniques.
Targeting and processing: The client focuses on a selected distressing memory while following sets of bilateral stimulation (commonly therapist-guided eye movements, taps, or sounds). This helps the brain reprocess the memory, reducing its intensity and changing negative beliefs linked to it.
Installation and body scan: Positive beliefs that replace the old negative ones are strengthened, and the therapist checks for lingering physical tension associated with the memory.
Closure and reevaluation: Each session ends with grounding strategies to ensure stability. Subsequent sessions reassess progress and may address additional targets.
50 minute session
EMDR is evidence-based for PTSD and can also help with anxiety, phobias, complicated grief, and other trauma-related issues. Sessions vary in length and number depending on the person and the complexity of their concerns.
