How can EMDR Help Me?
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is a form of psychotherapy that helps survivors of trauma reprocess memories and make new connections, ultimately reducing the distress associated with the trauma.
EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (BLS) to help the brain access and process traumatic memories and beliefs. Types of BLS include eye movements, slow and rhythmic tapping, listening to soft tones, squeezing a ball, or holding buzzers in each hand
EMDR is most strongly recommended for trauma survivors and people struggling with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which EMDR was originally developed to treat. It has also proven effective for other conditions, including:
BLS helps stimulate both sides of your brain so you can make new connections and process traumatic memories that may have gotten “stuck.” Processing trauma often requires making associations, interpreting visual information, putting words to your feelings, and working through both positive and negative feelings. BLS helps your brain accomplish these tasks so you can make meaning from what happened and move forward.
Grief & Loss can be intense pain and rumination over the loss of your loved one. Loss doesn't always mean death. Process and heal from the pain of grief and loss in a supportive and understanding environment. Our grief counseling services provide a safe space to express emotions and navigate the complexities of loss.
