Trauma can be debilitating, leaving you feeling like you’re stuck in a never-ending cycle of pain and suffering. But there is hope. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy can help you break free from the trauma that’s holding you back. Let’s take a look at what EMDR therapy is and how it can help you unlock your true potential.

Have you heard of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)? This type of therapy has been around since 2001, but it has only recently started to become popular in the therapeutic world. EMDR is a type of trauma-focused therapy that encourages clients to briefly focus on their trauma while also experiencing bilateral stimulation, usually through tapping or guided eye movements.

EMDR For many of us, the thought of delving into our past traumas can be overwhelming. We may want to keep them in the “Pandora’s box” and never open it, preferring instead to ignore our pain and discomfort. However, ignoring our emotions can often lead to increased anxiety, alcohol or drug addiction, and unproductive relationships. That’s where EMDR therapy comes in. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a type of psychotherapy that helps people process traumatic events more efficiently so that they can move forward with their lives. Let’s take a closer look at how EMDR Therapy works and why it might be beneficial for you.

The goal of EMDR Therapy is for patients to understand how their traumatic experiences have impacted them emotionally and physically so that they can move forward with their lives free from distressing symptoms associated with those experiences.
