About EMDR

What is EMDR?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a type of therapy that helps individuals process and heal from traumatic memories. Through guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation, EMDR helps the brain reprocess distressing memories, reducing their emotional charge. It is particularly effective for those with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other trauma-related conditions.

Who needs to have EMDR therapy?

EMDR can help people with a wide range of mental health conditions. Adolescents, teenagers and adults of all ages can benefit from this treatment. Some healthcare providers also specialize in EMDR for children.

EMDR therapy doesn’t require talking in detail about a distressing issue. EMDR instead focuses on changing the emotions, thoughts or behaviors that result from a distressing experience (trauma). This allows your brain to resume a natural healing process. While many people use the words “mind” and “brain” when referring to the same thing, they’re actually different. Your brain is an organ of your body. Your mind is the collection of thoughts, memories, beliefs and experiences that make you who you are.
