You’ve tried everything you can think of to feel better, but nothing’s sticking.

Maybe you’ve been to therapy before.

But you’re still feeling…

  • shut down, disconnected from your feelings

  • shame, guilt and anxiety

  • fear of asserting yourself

EMDR therapy can be a valuable tool for individuals struggling with anxiety that is linked to past traumatic experiences.

  • EMDR works by helping individuals process past memories, reducing their emotional charge and the anxiety that stems from them.

  • During EMDR, clients engage in bilateral stimulation, typically through guided eye movements. This process helps to facilitate the integration of distressing memories and reduces their emotional intensity. It allows the brain to process information more effectively.

    • EMDR helps clients reframe negative beliefs associated with anxiety.

    • Through therapy, individuals can replace irrational thoughts with more balanced and realistic perspectives, contributing to reduced anxiety levels.

    • EMDR helps desensitize individuals to anxiety provoking stimuli. By gradually exposing clients to the memories or triggers associated with their anxiety in a controlled environment, they can learn to respond with less distress.

    • As clients process their memories, they often learn skills for emotional regulation. This can lead to improved coping mechanisms for managing anxiety in the future.

    • EMDR encourages self-reflection and insight, helping clients understand the root causes of their anxiety and how past experiences influence their present feelings and behaviors.

    • Through the EMDR process, individuals often experience a sense of empowerment as they confront and process their fears. This empowerment can lead to greater confidence in managing anxiety.

Effectiveness can vary by individual, and it may take several sessions to see significant results.
