EMDR Therapy
What It Is
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) is an evidence based therapy that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories using guided bilateral stimulation, allowing experiences that feel “stuck” to finally integrate.
Sometimes you’ve done the insight work.
You understand your patterns.
And yet your body still reacts. Your nervous system still tightens. The stress response still shows up before you can think your way through it.
EMDR works directly with that layer.
When overwhelming or chronic stress isn’t fully processed, it can remain activated beneath the surface — influencing how you respond to pressure, conflict, and decision-making. EMDR helps update those stored experiences so they no longer carry the same emotional charge.
You don’t forget what happened.
It just stops feeling like it’s happening now.
How It Can Help
EMDR may be useful if you:
Feel stuck despite years of self-awareness
Experience anxiety that feels disproportionate
Carry unresolved stress from high-pressure environments
Notice strong reactions you can’t “logic” your way out of
Want to move from managing symptoms to resolving root causes
What to Expect
EMDR sessions are held virtually and begin with preparation. We’ll identify a specific memory, trigger, or belief that feels relevant and make sure you have the internal resources to approach it safely.
During reprocessing, you’ll briefly bring the experience to mind while following guided bilateral stimulation. You’ll notice what shifts, thoughts, sensations, emotions, and we’ll track the change together.
Most clients notice that the emotional intensity around the experience decreases over time. What once felt activating begins to feel neutral — like something that happened, not something that’s still happening.
