You’ve done talk therapy and have done some great work but:

  • You still can’t seem to get past your inner critic that says I’m not good enough, I’m not worthy.

  • You want to feel more in control of your reactions to stressful events or triggers.

  • You want to decrease the intensity of anxiety and shame you feel when you recall difficult memories.

 
 
 

What’s EMDR?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) engages your mind, body, and neurological processes by incorporating the bilateral stimulation like: 1) side to side eye movement, 2) alternating buzzers in each hand, and/or 3) alternating auditory tones with talk therapy. One theory about why EMDR works is that it simulates REM sleep and is able to process disturbing memories/thoughts in an efficient, productive way. Studies have shown that EMDR alleviates distressing symptoms quickly and can indicate shorter-term therapy depending on the issues being addressed. While EMDR has previously been applied to PTSD and trauma, EMDR can be versatile in its use to address negative beliefs, attachment issues, anxiety, and any event you find distressing.
