Frequently Asked Questions

  • EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It's a form of psychotherapy that helps individuals process traumatic or distressing memories. During EMDR sessions, a therapist guides the person to recall distressing experiences while directing their eye movements or using alternative bilateral stimulation like hand tapping or auditory tones.

    The theory behind EMDR is that these bilateral stimulations can help the brain reprocess traumatic memories, reducing their emotional impact. This therapy aims to facilitate the brain's natural healing processes, allowing the individual to integrate distressing memories in a less distressing way.

    EMDR involves several phases: history-taking, preparation, assessment, desensitization, installation (of positive beliefs), and body scan. While it's primarily known for treating trauma-related disorders like PTSD, it has also been used to address other mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and phobias.

    It's essential to undergo EMDR therapy with a qualified and licensed therapist who has specific training in this technique.
