EMDR has the ability to create powerful and long-lasting changes in a short amount of time. It helps to decrease and remove the distress caused by difficult experiences. So, if you are feeling stuck or confused in your life and have tried other therapy approaches with little relief, EMDR therapy may be a great choice for you.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy helps your brain resume its natural healing process and is a highly effective and efficient evidenced-based approach for trauma treatment. Trauma treatment is not just about being physically or sexually abused. It is also for individuals who were in a car accident, bullied as a child and/or had parents/caregivers who were mean or belittling.
When we go through an experience that has a negative impact on us, we tend to form negative beliefs about ourselves based on the incident. These negative beliefs are what drives our behaviors and how we interact with the world. Our negative beliefs also have the ability to increase anxious and depressive systems.
Does this sound familiar to you; I'm not good enough, I'm not safe, I am going to die, I am powerless, I don't deserve to be loved, I am inadequate, I am responsible, or I don't matter? If it does, you may be a good candidate for EMDR therapy.
EMDR therapy is a holistic approach-based therapy, that uses bilateral stimulation, i.e., eye movements or alternative tapping to reduce distress caused by trauma or adverse experiences. EMDR reduces the distress caused by these incidents by focusing on the negative beliefs and the experiences that led to them. After the completion of EMDR therapy, you will view yourself in a more positive way.
