INTEGRATING NEW LEARNING TO FIND HEALING

What EMDR Is
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain reprocess trauma and distressing experiences that are stored in the nervous system. -
How It Works
Through bilateral stimulation and careful pacing, EMDR supports the brain’s natural healing process without requiring detailed retelling of painful events. -
Changes Clients Often Notice
Many people report reduced emotional intensity and triggers, relief from trauma-related symptoms, and an increased sense of clarity, stability, and resilience.
WHY EMDR
-
It Addresses Trauma at the Nervous System Level
EMDR helps reprocess distressing memories that remain “stuck,” allowing the brain and body to respond with less fear, reactivity, or overwhelm. -
It Is Strongly Research-Supported
EMDR is recognized as an effective treatment for trauma, PTSD, and other distressing experiences, and is widely used across clinical settings. -
It Can Create Change Without Re-Telling the Story
EMDR does not require detailed verbal processing of traumatic events, making it a supportive option for people who feel overwhelmed or retraumatized by traditional talk therapy.
