EMDR

Service Description

A treatment technique that helps you process memories to help you heal from trauma or other distressing life experiences. The hoped-for outcomes of EMDR include: • Desensitization to your traumatic or disturbing memories through reduced emotional distress and neutralizing flashbacks, nightmares, or intrusive memories. • Cognitive restructuring by shifting your negative beliefs and improving your self-perception. • Reduction in your trauma-related symptoms such as hypervigilance, startle responses, avoidance behaviors, and feelings of detachment or numbness. Many people also experience a reduction in anxiety and depression. • Emotional processing of your traumatic events allows healing and integration with increased emotional regulation without being constantly triggered or overwhelmed. • Improving your coping skills and fostering empowerment. • Improved overall functioning with better relationships, restored daily functioning, and reduction in physical symptoms. • Long-term healing providing you sustained symptom relief and greater resilience to future stress. Overall, the hoped-for outcomes of EMDR are not only the alleviation of trauma-related symptoms but also deeper emotional healing, the restoration of personal empowerment, and an enhanced quality of life. By reprocessing traumatic memories, you can break free from the hold of the past and move forward with greater emotional freedom and well-being.
