Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
Deepening Understanding and Enhancing Well-Being
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy, or EMDR therapy, uses sensory stimuli, such as moving lights, gentle vibrations from handheld paddles, or tones through headphones. As you follow these stimuli with your eyes, your brain is stimulated while you recall distressing memories or experiences, helping you process them in a new way.
EMDR therapy is a powerful tool for healing from trauma and other emotional challenges. It works by targeting the root of painful memories, allowing you to reduce the emotional charge they hold. With regular sessions, you can make significant progress, often faster than with traditional talk therapy. This approach is highly effective for those seeking to overcome trauma, anxiety, or other deeply rooted issues, offering a structured and supportive way to move toward healing and recovery.
Break Free from Trauma with Expert EMDR Therapy
During the first phase of EMDR therapy, you will begin to recall and explore your trauma, as well as help you gain insight into your history. Then, in phase two, you work on different techniques to handle your emotional pain. Next, during phases three to six, you and your therapist set targets and identify three aspects of your trauma:
- A visual image connected to your trauma
- A negative belief about yourself
- Your related emotions and body sensations
Finally, in phases seven and eight, you work on closure and examining your progress.
EMDR therapy can lead to lasting healing and a renewed sense of well-being. If you’re ready to move forward and find relief from past trauma, EMDR at Southlake Counseling can be a transformative step in your recovery.
