Our past experiences shape the way we think and feel in the present. Because of this effect, negative experiences can contribute to struggles with mental health. Unfortunately, without healing from these experiences symptoms often continue unresolved.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy technique that was developed to help individuals recover from difficult or traumatic experiences. It involves a structured approach to processing memories, including negative beliefs, emotions, and physical sensations that are associated with the event.
During an EMDR session, I guide the client to focus on specific memories while simultaneously engaging in bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements, hand tapping, or alternating tactile stimulation.
This process is thought to facilitate the integration of the disturbing memory into the client's existing memory network, reducing the intensity and distress associated with the experience.
Through this treatment, clients are aided in healing from these traumatic memories and can be no longer distressed by or affected by them in the present.
