EMDR Therapy
Good News — EMDR CAN be done via Telehealth
What Is EMDR?
- EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful, research-based therapy designed to help the brain heal from overwhelming experiences.
- It is one of the most effective treatments for trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and emotional distress.
How EMDR Works
“EMDR is the Gentle Untying of the Knots.”
What to Expect in a Session
As the memory is processed through bilateral stimulation, it gradually loses its distress and becomes integrated.
Clients often report feeling lighter, clearer, and more emotionally free.
Who Can Benefit
EMDR is effective for:
- Trauma and PTSD
- Anxiety and panic
- Grief and loss
- Negative self-beliefs
- Shame, guilt, or emotional blocks
- Childhood wounds
- Phobias
Many clients who felt “stuck” in talk therapy find EMDR helps to move forward more quickly.
Is EMDR Hypnosis?
- No — EMDR is not hypnosis.
- You are not in a trance, and no suggestions are given.
- You remain fully present and in control.
- EMDR simply helps your brain resume its natural healing process.
Prince Harry and other Celebrities Embrace EMDR
“One of the biggest lessons I’ve ever learned in life is you’ve sometimes got to go back and deal with really uncomfortable situations and be able to process it in order to be able to heal,” Harry said in an interview with Oprah Winfrey.
“I didn’t realize what PTSD was.” She decided to get some help, explaining that she began her healing process with EMDR. “I discovered EMDR, which was the most healing.”
Paris claims EMDR helped her with PTSD and cope with paparazzi harassment after the death of her father, Michael Jackson. “I love EMDR. It’s very intense,” she stated on an episode of Red Table Talk.
“EMDR works faster than you think —
often accomplishing in weeks what once took years.”
NOTE —EMDR is a highly specialized protocol for treatment, and should ONLY be administered by a Licensed Mental Health Professional. If you are able to obtain a “Certified” and/or “Consultant” EMDR specialist in your area, they have spent many extra hours (think internship), and elevated training requirements to become Certified in this treatment, and have invested in added consultations with other EMDR experts.
