What is EMDR Therapy?

EMDR Therapy is a structured therapy that encourages the patient to briefly focus on the trauma memory while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation (usually eye movements), which is associated with a reduction in the vividness and emotion associated with the trauma memories.

Key Components:

• History and Treatment Planning: We assess your history and develop a personalized treatment plan targeting specific traumatic memories.
• Preparation: You will learn self-soothing and stabilization techniques to manage any emotional distress.
• Assessment: We identify specific memories and associated negative beliefs, emotions, and physical sensations.
• Desensitization: We use bilateral stimulation (e.g., eye movements) to reduce the emotional intensity of the memory.
• Installation: Positive beliefs are integrated into the memory, replacing negative ones.
• Body Scan: We ensure any residual physical tension is addressed.
• Closure: Each session ends with ensuring you return to a state of emotional stability.
• Reevaluation: Progress is assessed and further steps are planned.

Benefits of EMDR Therapy

• Reduction in the intensity of traumatic memories.
• Improvement in symptoms of PTSD and other trauma-related disorders.
• Enhanced emotional regulation and coping skills.
• Increased ability to function in daily life and relationships.

EMDR therapy can also be effective in treating anxiety disorders, depression, phobias, panic disorders, grief, loss, performance anxiety, and stress-related conditions.
