EMDR Therapy: Healing From the Past So You Can Live Fully Now
If you’ve ever felt stuck replaying a painful memory, even when you know you’re safe now, you’re not alone. Our brains sometimes hold on to experiences in a way that keeps us feeling like they’re happening all over again. That’s where EMDR & trauma therapy can help.
What Is EMDR?
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It’s a form of trauma therapy that helps the brain “re-file” distressing memories so they no longer trigger the same emotional or physical reaction.
It doesn’t erase your memories, rather it helps your nervous system understand that the danger is over, and that you’re safe now.
How It Works
During EMDR therapy sessions, we gently revisit past experiences while using bilateral stimulation; like following a moving light or tapping back and forth. This helps both sides of your brain communicate and process stuck memories.
Many people are surprised by how natural it feels. You don’t have to talk through every detail, your brain does the healing work while you’re guided and supported through the EMDR & trauma therapy process.
What EMDR Can Help With
EMDR therapy has been proven effective for:
PTSD and traumatic experiences
Anxiety and panic
Grief and loss
Relationship triggers and attachment styles
Birth trauma and postpartum stress
Low self esteem or shame rooted in past experiences
Whether you’re struggling with the long-term effects of childhood trauma or feeling overwhelmed by recent events, EMDR offers a structured, research-backed path to healing.
Why It Works
When trauma happens, the brain stores the memory “raw,” along with all the original emotions, body sensations, and images. EMDR helps reprocess that memory, moving it into long-term storage, so it no longer hijacks your present.
Clients often say they feel lighter, calmer, and more present after EMDR—more connected to themselves and their relationships. For many, it also opens up space to work on deeper issues like low self esteem, boundary-setting, and healing unhealthy attachment styles developed from childhood trauma.
