Neurological Healing: The EMDR Session Experience

Are you wondering what happens during EMDR? EMDR transforms trauma processing through a unique neurological intervention. As one recalls challenging memories, precise bilateral stimulation—through targeted eye movements, subtle taps, or rhythmic tones will activate your brain's natural healing mechanisms.

We like to think of it as “psychological defragmentation.” Similar to REM sleep, EMDR helps the brain organize information and guides your mind to:

• Neutralize emotional triggers

• Reframe traumatic memories

• Disconnect psychological pain from specific memories

• Restore neural pathways disrupted by trauma

What Makes Us Different?

1. We offer successful treatment for trauma using brain science to reprocess traumatic memories.

2. Our sessions are typically longer: 60 to 90 minutes.

3. For parents struggling with their own trauma, EMDR intensives (3 or 6 hours) are also available! This helps reduce symptoms of trauma and stress.

4. A clinician will determine if symptoms are best served with ongoing treatment.

5. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR does not require extensive verbal processing. Instead, it harnesses your brain's innate capacity to heal, turning psychological wounds into opportunities for resilience and growth.
