EMDR:

Because Insight Alone Doesn’t Heal Trauma

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain reprocess traumatic experiences that feel "stuck," allowing them to become part of the past instead of feeling like they're happening in the present.

01
Establish trust and connection with your therapist

02
Learn containment and relaxation skills

03
Safely reprocess and regain control

EMDR therapy targets the unprocessed memories that contain the negative emotions, sensations and beliefs. By activating the brain’s information processing system [AIP], the old memories can then be “digested.” Meaning what is useful is learned, what’s useless is discarded.
— Shapiro, 2013
