EMDR therapy is revolutionizing the field of psychotherapy, enabling people to access healing from traumatic life experiences and distress in a fraction of the time it once took. Like removing an irritant or foreign object that causes physical wounds to fester and pain, EMDR works by targeting underlying emotional sources so they can be released – allowing both mind and body recovery similar to natural bodily processes when wound repair occurs. Studies have confirmed this remarkable form of therapeutics as offering fast yet lasting relief for many psychological traumas!

With its creative, eight-phase approach EMDR unleashes the power of your past and present experiences in order to build greater skills for future actions. During one part of the session, a clinician asks clients to focus on particular elements relating to their painful event as he or she moves their hands back and forth across the client’s field of vision. Through this eye movement technique, evidence suggests links between these motions and rapid eye movements associated with dreams during REM sleep; allowing for therapeutic benefits where internal associations arise in order for victims to successfully process distressing recollections into more manageable thoughts free from negative emotion.

EMDR helps individuals navigate the challenging realities of their past, develop productive strategies for present situations causing distress, and positively shape future actions. Through a structured eight-phase treatment approach that guides clients along this journey towards healing, EMDR equips them with the skills to live an empowered life moving forward.
