Therapy
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
An evidence-based trauma therapy for processing distressing memories.
EMDR is an evidence-based, structured trauma therapy that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories so they lose their present-day charge.
About EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
EMDR has a strong evidence base for PTSD in adults. It uses guided attention (often eye movements) while a person briefly recalls a distressing memory, helping the nervous system reprocess it. It is one of the two front-line trauma therapies recommended in major clinical guidelines.
We deliver EMDR individually and only after stabilization — sleep, distress tolerance, safety, and daily function come first. Reprocessing before someone can tolerate it is a leading cause of dropout, so we stage the work and begin only when you and your team agree you are ready.
