EMDR is a deeply healing form of therapy that is more effective than talk therapy alone.
It takes incredible strength to confront the effects of trauma and painful life experience, which may take the present day shape of anxiety, depression, perfectionism, people pleasing, and low self worth. As a center, we specialize in treating trauma with the deeply healing modality of EMDR and we're here to guide you on a path towards true healing and growth.
If you've experienced trauma, you may be all too familiar with its lingering effects. Symptoms like intrusive memories, sleep disturbances, and overwhelming emotions can make everyday life feel like an uphill battle. Anxiety may consume your thoughts, leaving you trapped in a constant state of worry. Painful childhood experiences can cast long shadows, affecting your self-worth and relationships.
But there is hope.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a bottom-up therapy modality that approaches healing from a unique perspective. Unlike traditional talk therapies that primarily rely on top-down processing (working through thoughts and emotions consciously and intellectually), EMDR taps into the innate healing capacity of the body and the nervous system.
During the reprocessing phase of EMDR sessions, attention is focused on disturbing memories, emotions, or beliefs while engaging in bilateral stimulation, which can involve eye movements, sounds, or tactile sensations. This bilateral stimulation activates both sides of the brain and facilitates the processing and integration of traumatic experiences. EMDR allows you to access and release the emotional charge associated with these memories.
This bottom-up approach is powerful because it bypasses the conscious thinking mind and directly targets the underlying neural networks involved in trauma processing. Through this rewiring process, EMDR can lead to profound shifts in how you perceive and respond to the world around you. Limiting beliefs that once held you back can be deeply replaced with more empowering beliefs. This is not just thinking positive, this is feeling the truth of that new belief in your whole being.
As your nervous system undergoes transformation, you may find yourself experiencing a new sense of stability and regulation. Triggers that used to overwhelm you may lose their power, and your emotional baseline will feel calmer. EMDR can help you cultivate a sense of safety within yourself and in your relationships, allowing for deeper connections and a more fulfilling life.
