EMDR Therapy

Heal from the symptoms of trauma.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy might sound like a sci-fi brain experiment, but in reality, it’s a super effective way to deal with trauma. Imagine a mental spring cleaning where you sort out those dusty, distressing memories and put them where they belong. Not to mention, it is one of the top two therapies in the world for trauma.

EMDR involves recalling traumatic memories while the therapist waves their fingers before your eyes or uses taps, vibrations, or sounds. It’s like following a bouncing ball while you’re watching an emotional movie in your head. This bilateral stimulation helps your brain process the memories in a way that reduces their emotional punch.

The therapy follows an eight-phase approach, starting with getting your history and prepping for the overall process. Then comes the desensitization phase, where you face the traumatic memory head-on but with the therapist’s guidance and magical eye movements. It’s like defusing an emotional bomb, one careful step at a time.

The adaptive information processing (AIP) model behind EMDR suggests that trauma damages memory storage. EMDR helps reprocess these memories so they become less haunting and more like just another story from your past. The best part? You develop new, positive beliefs about yourself as you reprocess these memories.

EMDR isn’t just for trauma.

It’s also great for anxiety, depression, and even phobias. Many people find relief in just 6 to 12 sessions, making it a quick yet powerful tool in the therapy toolbox. It’s like getting a mental reset button that helps you move forward with less baggage.

EMDR is also a secret weapon top performers use to upgrade their mental software. It’s like swapping out that outdated, glitchy operating system in your brain for one that runs smoothly and efficiently. Say goodbye to those annoying pop-up ads of self-doubt, and hello to streamlined, productive thoughts!

With this mental tune-up, you can kick those limiting beliefs to the curb and watch your performance skyrocket.

Move forward with confidence.
