EMDR for Trauma Healing
You do not have to live with symptoms of trauma.
EMDR is effective at relieving symptoms of PTSD, relational trauma, body image distress, anxiety, and depression.
EMDR may be right for you if you…
Have experienced a traumatic or distressing event that still affects you today
Feel stuck in patterns of fear, shame, or guilt related to past experiences
Struggle with anxiety, panic, or intrusive thoughts that feel hard to control
Find yourself reacting strongly to situations that remind you of the past
Have memories that feel “too vivid” or keep replaying in your mind
Experience low self-esteem or negative self-beliefs (“I’m not good enough,” “I’m unsafe”)
Feel emotionally numb or detached after stressful experiences
Have difficulty trusting others or feeling safe in relationships
Are coping with grief, loss, or major life changes
Want to feel more grounded, resilient, and at peace in your daily life
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): How does it work?
-
Adaptive Information Processing
Our brains are capable of automatically processing and integrating subconscious information and experiences.
EMDR stimulates the AIP system to allow us to recall memories without being overwhelmed by distress.
-
Dual Attention
Going at a comfortable pace, we'll explore your past distressing experiences while keeping you firmly grounded in the present.
This dual attention keeps you safe and centred.
-
Bilateral Stimulation
Quick, repetitive eye movements provide bilateral stimulation between the right and left hemispheres of your brain.
This helps you to process and integrate information and memories effectively.
