What is eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR)?
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based psychotherapy approach designed to help individuals process and heal from distressing memories, trauma, and emotional challenges. EMDR focuses on reducing the emotional impact of past experiences that may still affect your mental and emotional well-being today. Unlike traditional talk therapies, EMDR uses guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation to help the brain reprocess traumatic memories, allowing you to move forward with clarity and resilience. EMDR is particularly effective for individuals struggling with:
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Helping to process and reduce the impact of traumatic events
- Anxiety and Panic Disorders: Reducing overwhelming fears and worries
- Depression: Addressing underlying emotional pain and unresolved memories
- Grief and Loss: Supporting individuals in processing the emotional pain of losing a loved one
- Phobias: Helping to desensitize intense fears and triggers
By addressing the root causes of emotional distress, EMDR empowers individuals to regain control of their lives, improve emotional regulation, and build a healthier, more balanced future.

Common Questions About Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR is an evidence-based therapy designed to help individuals process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact. Unlike traditional talk therapies, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements or tapping, to reprocess unresolved trauma and promote emotional healing.
EMDR is effective for individuals struggling with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, phobias, and emotional distress. It’s particularly helpful for those who feel stuck in negative patterns tied to past experiences.
During a session, your therapist will guide you through recalling a distressing memory while using bilateral stimulation (like eye movements or tapping). This process helps reduce the memory’s emotional intensity and allows you to reframe it in a healthier way.
The length of EMDR therapy depends on your specific needs and goals. Some individuals may see significant progress in a few sessions, while others may require longer-term therapy to address multiple memories or challenges.
If you’re struggling with unresolved trauma, emotional distress, or negative patterns that affect your daily life, EMDR could be a great fit. Your therapist can help determine if this approach aligns with your needs and goals.
