EYE MOVEMENT DESENSITIZATION & REPROCESSING

EMDR

"The past affects the present even without our being aware of it. EMDR helps us recognize and heal the wounds of the past so they no longer dictate our responses today."

Online EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a research-backed therapy that helps people heal from trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and other distressing experiences by reprocessing memories and reducing their emotional intensity.

EMDR therapy uses bilateral stimulation—like guided eye movements, tapping, or sound—to activate both sides of the brain. This helps reprocess traumatic memories so they feel less intense and overwhelming. Whether done online or in person, EMDR is a proven method for healing trauma, anxiety, PTSD, and other distressing life experiences.

How EMDR Can Help You

RELEASING FEAR, SHAME, & UNWORTHINESS

Trauma—especially early or repeated trauma—can leave behind feelings of fear, shame, or not being good enough. These emotions can linger long after the event, showing up in your self-talk, relationships, or sense of safety. EMDR helps your brain reprocess those experiences so they lose their emotional grip and stop defining your worth.

HEAL FROM BETRAYAL & BROKEN TRUST

If you’ve been betrayed by someone you depended on—whether a caregiver, partner, or authority figure—it can shake your sense of safety. EMDR helps you process those wounds, so you can rebuild trust in yourself and others and feel more grounded in your relationships.

TRANSFORM HARMFUL CORE BELIEFS

Trauma often leads to deeply rooted beliefs like “I’m broken,” “I’m to blame,” or “I’m not lovable.” EMDR helps uncover where these beliefs began and gently rewires them into more compassionate truths—like “I am worthy of love, just as I am.”

RECONNECT WITH YOUR IDENTITY

After trauma, it’s common to feel lost or disconnected from who you are. EMDR supports the process of reclaiming your identity—helping you feel more like you again, with a renewed sense of purpose, clarity, and self-connection.

MAKE DECISIONS WITH CONFIDENCE

Trauma can leave you feeling stuck in fear or indecision. You might second-guess yourself or worry about making the “wrong” choice. EMDR helps release those internal blocks, empowering you to move forward with more confidence, intuition, and clarity.

REDUCE EMOTIONAL TRIGGERS

Certain sounds, places, or situations can cause overwhelming emotional responses—even when you know you're safe. EMDR helps reduce these triggers by reprocessing the root memories behind them, so your body and mind can respond more calmly in the present.

WORK THROUGH GRIEF AND LOSS

Trauma often includes loss—whether of a relationship, safety, identity, or a life you hoped for. EMDR helps you move through grief in a way that honors your experience, while creating space for healing, meaning, and new beginnings.
