What will I experience in an EMDR
session?
session?
Bilateral Stimulation EMDR alternately stimulates each side of the body through eye movements or tactile sensations. This helps the brain connect all the pieces of the events. Logical processes are connected to emotional ones, and your brain is able to more quickly and deeply heal itself from traumas. Take the step today to start your personal journey and heal your life!

Together with your therapist, you identify problem beliefs and symptoms.
Examples include: I'm not good enough. I'm not safe. My needs aren't
important. It's my fault.
An EMDR plan is developed that will include times you felt that way in
the past, in the present, and times that could trigger you to feel that way
in the future. You develop healthy beliefs (I am enough. I am acceptable
the way I am. I am safe now. I did the best I could.)
Your therapist will assess your coping skills and ability to tolerate strong
emotions. If you need additional skills, sessions can consist of teaching
and implementing coping skills.
You then begin to systematically address each past, present, and future
event. With bilateral stimulation (eye movements, tactile stimulation on
each hand), you are able to express the emotions and thoughts tied to
each event, and then come to a new perspective with new positive
feelings and beliefs. Each future trigger is sequenced with your new
belief and ways of responding.
For people with no previous trauma history and a single incident of
trauma, healing can happen in a few sessions. For people with longer or
more intense histories, healing will take longer. However, people
generally report feeling some relief and notice changes in themselves
along the way.
