EMDR Information

EMDR Therapy 

Serving Florida, Texas (online), and Winter Park, FL (in-person) 

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based psychotherapy method designed to help people heal from trauma, anxiety, and distressing life experiences. EMDR is widely recognized as one of the most effective treatments for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and has been backed by extensive research.

How Does EMDR Therapy Work?

EMDR uses bilateral stimulation, often through guided eye movements, to activate both sides of the brain. This mimics the natural processing that occurs during REM sleep, allowing the brain to reprocess distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity.

The goal of EMDR is to help the brain "unstick" traumatic memories and replace negative beliefs with healthier, more adaptive ones. This approach is particularly helpful for individuals who have experienced:

• Childhood abuse or neglect

• Relationship trauma or attachment wounds

• Accidents, grief, or medical trauma

• Disturbing life experiences that continue to affect daily functioning

What Can EMDR Help With?

While originally developed to treat PTSD, EMDR therapy is now used to support healing from many issues, including:

• Panic attacks and anxiety

• Complicated grief

• Flashbacks or disturbing memories

• Stress and overwhelm

• Negative self-beliefs and emotional triggers

Do you ever feel triggered in ways that seem too intense for the situation? Or carry beliefs like “I’m not good enough” even though you know they’re not true? EMDR therapy might help you release emotional blocks and restore a sense of balance.
