EMDR Therapy
EMDR helps you reprocess painful memories, reduce emotional intensity, and uncover a healthier, more confident sense of self.
What is EMDR?
Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR is an evidence-based therapy developed in the late 1980s to help people heal from trauma and distressing life experiences. In sessions, you focus on troubling memories while engaging in gentle eye movements, tapping, or sounds.
This process helps your brain reprocess stuck memories, lowering their emotional charge and allowing you to move forward with greater ease.
