What EMDR Can Help With
Trauma shows up in the body as much as the mind. EMDR is especially effective for:
- Flashbacks and intrusive memories
- Nightmares and disrupted sleep
- Intense anxiety or panic in response to triggers
- Avoidance of people, places, or reminders
- Feeling constantly on edge or easily startled
- Negative beliefs about yourself, others, or the world
Frequently Asked Questions
What is EMDR therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps your brain reprocess traumatic or distressing memories using bilateral stimulation — like guided eye movements — so those memories lose their emotional charge and stop running the show in your daily life.
Will EMDR therapy bring up things I don't remember?
Sometimes new details or connections surface during processing, but EMDR doesn't create false memories or force anything you're not ready for. We move at a pace that feels safe for your nervous system, and you're always in control of the process.
How can I manage my emotions after an EMDR therapy session?
It's common to feel tired, reflective, or emotionally raw after a session as your brain continues processing. Gentle self-care — rest, hydration, journaling, or a quiet walk — can help. We'll also build a personalized grounding plan together for after-session care.
When is EMDR not a good idea?
EMDR isn't recommended during active crisis, active substance use without other support in place, or before you've had an initial assessment to make sure it's the right fit. We'll talk through your readiness together before starting.
What does a therapist do during EMDR sessions?
I guide you through identifying a target memory, then support you through bilateral stimulation while you process it — staying attuned to your nervous system throughout, and making sure you leave each session feeling grounded and safe.
How often should EMDR therapy be done?
This depends on your goals and format. Weekly sessions work well for some; others prefer the focused, accelerated pace of an EMDR intensive. We'll figure out what's right for you during your consultation.
You deserve a life free from the grip of the past.
