EMDR Therapy

Introduction

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a specialized form of therapy that helps individuals heal from the emotional distress caused by traumatic events. Whether you've experienced a single traumatic event or ongoing trauma, EMDR offers a structured approach to processing these memories and reducing their lingering impact. EMDR does not intend to delete the memory for you like hypnosis, but it helps taking the sting out of it and thus you get your life back.

My Approach

I do not just do EMDR without establishing a psychotherapeutic relationship with the client’s trauma. I have a few regular/talk therapy sessions to establish that rapport with the psyche and then dig deeper through EMDR. EMDR involves a series of guided sessions where you will be asked to recall distressing memories while focusing on external stimuli, such as side-to-side eye movements. This process helps your brain reprocess the memories, leading to a decrease in their emotional charge and allowing you to integrate them into your overall life narrative. I have personally used it and its effectiveness in tapping into my unconscious mind had yielded permanent and effective outcomes. EMDR are longer sessions than usual sessions, so pricing will be different.

Who it’s for

EMDR is particularly effective for individuals dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, phobias, and other trauma-related symptoms. It’s also beneficial for those who have not found relief through traditional talk therapy. Clients that have been stuck in their trauma stories find this tool particularly effective.

Benefits

Many clients experience significant relief from trauma symptoms, including reduced anxiety, fewer intrusive thoughts, and improved emotional regulation. EMDR can be a transformative process, helping you regain control over your life and move forward with greater peace of mind. “A weight off of my shoulders”, is what its’s usually described by as clients. Clients are able to regain control of their lives and trauma no longer remains the central focus.
