EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapy often used to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). With the aim of helping you heal from traumatic events, EMDR aims to alleviate the aftereffects of major traumas, including war, assault, rape, and auto accidents. But, it’s also useful in addressing ‘smaller’ traumas, such as divorce, job loss, and grief. By mimicking the eye movements of REM sleep, it’s possible to reprocess disturbing memories and reduce the emotional distress they cause.

EMDR Benefits

Unlike traditional therapy, EMDR leverages the way the brain processes information to stimulate the natural healing process.

  • Alleviate Anxiety and Panic Attacks
  • Disempower Distressing Memories
  • Reconnect After Major Traumas
  • Recover From Traumatic Events

You’ve tried avoidance. You’ve tried talk therapy. Ultimately, nothing’s worked. EMDR is an alternative way to process and overcome your trauma.

  • Anxiety and Depression
  • Eating Disorders
  • PTSD
  • Sleep Disturbance
