EMDR therapy is a gentle yet effective approach designed to help you process and recover from past experiences that may be impacting your mental health and well-being. Whether you’re dealing with trauma, anxiety, or distressing memories, EMDR can offer a safe path toward healing.

 

EMDR works by using bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements, while your therapist gently supports you through the process. This process helps your brain reprocess distressing memories in a way that feels safer and more manageable. As a result, those memories feel less intense, helping you feel calmer and more grounded.

 

When we experience something painful, our brain may store that memory in a way that feels stuck or unsettling — as if the danger hasn’t passed. This can make certain sights, sounds, or feelings unexpectedly trigger distressing memories, emotions, even long after the event.

 

Unlike some other therapies, EMDR doesn’t require you to talk in detail about the distressing events. Instead, it focuses on changing the emotions, thoughts, or behaviours linked to those experiences. This allows your brain’s natural healing process to resume, supporting you in feeling more in control.

 

EMDR helps to gently reprocess distressing or traumatic memories, so they no longer feel like something you're reliving, and the emotions connected to them become far easier to manage.
