Understanding the Approach

What is EMDR?

EMDR therapy integrates elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy with bilateral stimulation through guided eye movements or other forms of rhythmic stimulation, such as tapping or auditory tones. This process helps clients reprocess and integrate traumatic memories, reducing their emotional charge and allowing for healthier coping mechanisms.
