What is EMDR Therapy?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a one-on-one evidenced based, interactive therapy designed to help you process and heal from stressful or traumatic experiences. It's a powerful tool that helps clear the emotional “stuckness” left behind by events that overwhelmed your nervous system.  Trauma is anything that happened to you that shouldn’t have, like bullying or abuse, or something that should have happened but didn’t, like receiving safety, love, and support during childhood.

​We often think of trauma with extreme events like assault or abuse, war, or even natural disasters—these are what we call “Big T” trauma. Many of us have “small t” traumas we experience every day: interpersonal conflict, divorce, cumulative daily stresses, complicated grief,  growing up with emotionally unavailable parents.  When those "small t" traumas are brushed off as part of life, they leave lasting emotional effects that deserve attention and healing. ​EMDR may be helpful to address those emotional wounds and their scars, and  tackle the root causes so you can begin real healing.
