What is
EMDR
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a gentle, evidence-based therapy that helps people heal from distressing memories, trauma, and emotional challenges. Instead of focusing only on talking through past experiences, EMDR works by helping the brain safely process and release unhelpful patterns connected to those memories.
During sessions, you’ll be guided through simple, structured techniques, such as guided eye movements or gentle tapping—while you focus on specific thoughts or feelings. This process supports the brain’s natural ability to heal, allowing difficult experiences to become less intense over time.
