EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
What is EMDR?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based psychotherapy technique designed to help individuals process traumatic experiences and resolve emotional struggles. It can help those who have faced trauma, and struggle with anxiety, phobias, grief, panic attacks, and depression.
How Does EMDR Work?
EMDR utilizes bilateral stimulation, typically in the form of side-to-side eye movements, to activate the brain's natural healing processes. By doing so, it allows individuals to reprocess distressing memories in a safe and guided environment. This transformative therapy helps remove emotional blocks, leading to increased emotional resilience and a healthier outlook on life.

Safe and Non-Invasive: EMDR is a non-invasive therapy that allows you to address deep emotional wounds without re-traumatizing experiences.
