How does EMDR help?

EMDR is an effective treatment option for anyone who has tried therapy before and continue to feel stuck and want to work through past issues to alleviate current symptoms. It helps people heal from physical and emotional suffering that are a result from distressing life experiences.

When we experience a disturbing event, the stress responses (fight, flight, freeze, fawn) are part of our survival instincts. The images, thoughts, emotions, and body sensations remain or gets “stuck” and creates an overwhelming experience of feeling like you are back in that moment in time.

EMDR helps the brain re-process these earlier memories that have contributed to the present day symptoms and allows the natural healing to continue. EMDR helps with the following:
