EMDR
What is EMDR Therapy?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an extensively researched, effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma and other distressing life experiences, including:
• PTSD
• Depression and anxiety
• Chronic illness and medical issues
• Grief and loss
• PTSD/CPTSD
• Sexual assault
• Sleep disturbance
• Substance abuse and addiction
• Violence and abuse
How is EMDR Different from Other Therapies?
EMDR therapy does not require talking in detail about the distressing issue or homework between sessions. EMDR supports the brain to resume its natural healing process. EMDR therapy is designed to process traumatic memories in the brain, so the person is informed by these memories but not controlled by them. Part of the therapy includes alternating eye movements, sounds, or taps. For many clients, EMDR therapy can be completed in fewer sessions than other psychotherapies.
EMDR therapy can be done in-person or via virtual platforms and must be done with a properly trained and licensed mental health clinician.
EMDR therapy is recognized as an effective treatment by the American Psychiatric Association; American Psychological Association; International Society for Traumatic and The World Health Organization. ©2022 EMDR International Association
