EMDR Therapy
A Gentler Path Toward Healing
You’re tired of feeling stuck.
You have felt this way for a while, but now it’s taking a toll on you.
Feelings of depression and anxiety that you don’t understand. Your body and mind experiencing past events as if they are happening in the present.
It feels like a constant pressure that affects almost every aspect of your life.
Does this sound familiar to you:
Persistent negative thoughts about yourself or the world at large.
Feelings of hopelessness or being stuck in the past.
Sleepless nights followed by days of difficulty concentrating.
Rapidly changing emotions, from feeling emotionally numb to bouts of irritability or anger.
A constant feeling of being on edge, as if always braced for danger.
You are ready for things to change and to be able to live feeling like you are in control of your life and emotions.
You are not alone in this, there is a way out.
EMDR Therapy Can Help.
EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a therapy technique that can assist in moving traumatic memories from the emotionally charged forefront of your mind to a more logical, manageable space.
It doesn’t erase the event, but rather files it away as a past event allowing safety to be felt in the present.
You are meant to heal.
Our brains are naturally designed to recover from traumatic experiences.
It's a delicate balance of communication between the amygdala (our stress alarm), the hippocampus (our memory and learning center), and the prefrontal cortex (the area controlling complex cognitive, behavioral, and emotional functioning).
Sometimes distress from disturbing memories gets stuck in our brain and we can feel as if we are frozen in time.
EMDR therapy helps the brain process these memories and allows normal healing to resume.
EMDR therapy isn’t about diving deep into every distressing memory or burdening you with assignments.
Instead the focus is on letting your brain do what it naturally wants to do: heal.
Why EMDR?
Body & Mind Connection
Even if memories elude you, your body often holds onto the emotions and sensations tied to traumatic events. EMDR can help process these feelings.
Natural Healing
With EMDR, there's no need to narrate every painful memory. Your mind knows where healing is needed and the therapy facilitates that journey.
Lasting Relief
Many clients describe EMDR as shedding a burdensome weight they've carried for years. They find themselves less distressed by life events and more stable in relationships.
