Understanding Trauma
Trauma encompasses a wide range of distressing events, including:
Physical or sexual abuse
Emotional or verbal abuse
Neglect or abandonment
Accidents or natural disasters
Witnessing violence
Sudden loss of a loved one
Chronic illness or medical trauma
These experiences can lead to symptoms such as anxiety, depression, flashbacks, and difficulties in personal relationships. What you’re experiencing is a normal trauma response. But, help is available. Eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR) can help reprocess your past pain so you can move on with confidence.
What is EMDR therapy?
EMDR is short for Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing. It is a therapeutic tool used to help clients reprocess painful events from their past. A trauma therapist accomplishes this through a technique called bilateral stimulation. This means we stimulate both the left and the right sides of your brain. An EMDR therapist will provide this using handles that vibrate, tapping both sides of the body, or waving a finger to move your eyes from left to right. The goal is this treatment is to move the past trauma from the emotional side of your brain to the logical side. This way, your brain can process it and help you feel less triggered by memories of what happened in the past.

EMDR therapy has been shown to:

By processing traumatic memories, EMDR enables you to move forward without being hindered by past experiences.
