Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured, evidence-based therapy designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences. It’s particularly effective for conditions like PTSD, anxiety, depression, and other distressing life experiences.

During an EMDR session, a therapist guides the client through bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements, tapping, or auditory tones) while recalling distressing memories. This process helps the brain reprocess traumatic experiences in a way that reduces emotional intensity and negative beliefs associated with them.

At Reset Counseling and Wellness, LLC, EMDR could be a powerful tool for clients dealing with:

• Childhood or racial trauma

• Anxiety and panic attacks

• Grief and loss

• Low self-esteem related to past experiences

• Stress from high-performance environments

It’s different from traditional talk therapy because it focuses on the brain’s natural healing processes, allowing clients to gain relief without having to talk in detail about their trauma.
