What is EMDR?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences. Repeated studies show that by using EMDR therapy people can experience the benefits of psychotherapy that once took years to make a difference. It is widely assumed that severe emotional pain requires a long time to heal. EMDR therapy shows that the mind can in fact heal from psychological trauma much as the body recovers from physical trauma.
Studies have shown that EMDR therapy can effectively alleviate symptoms of PTSD, including flashbacks, nightmares, and severe anxiety.
Alleviation of PTSD symptoms
By processing negative experiences and transforming the associated beliefs, EMDR therapy can significantly improve self-esteem and overall self-perception.
Improved self-esteem
EMDR therapy helps individuals reduce the distress associated with traumatic memories. It allows patients to access and process these memories to bring about effective therapeutic change.
Reduction in distress
Most clients realize noticeable benefits in very few sessions.
Fast results
EMDR therapy views the mind and body as interconnected. It addresses not only the psychological but also the physiological effects of trauma.

EMDR therapy can also reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, which often accompany trauma.
