What EMDR Is
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain process overwhelming or traumatic experiences.
When something distressing happens, the images, emotions, thoughts, and body sensations can become “stuck,” making it feel like the event is still happening.
EMDR helps the brain reprocess these memories so they become less distressing and stored in a healthier, more adaptive way using gentle bilateral stimulation.
How EMDR Works
EMDR follows an 8-phase structured treatment that includes history taking, preparation, identifying target memories, reprocessing, and installing positive beliefs.
Preparation includes grounding and emotional safety tools such as Calm/Safe Place, Container Technique, Resource Development & Installation (RDI), and Ally exercises.
During reprocessing, clients focus on a memory while engaging in bilateral stimulation, allowing the brain to naturally reduce distress and create adaptive healing.
