Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) relies on a client's own rapid, rhythmic eye movements, and is founded on the belief that these eye movements can weaken the intensity of emotionally charged memories. EMDR is most often used to treat PTSD or other traumas, but is also sometimes used for panic attacks, eating disorders, addictions, and anxiety. EMDR sessions can last up to 90 minutes, and usually starts with a client rating their level of distress. A therapist then typically moves their fingers in front of your face (or sometimes toe tapping or musical tones), asking you to follow along with your eyes, while you recall a traumatic event and all the sensations that come with it. You will gradually be guided by the therapist to shift thoughts from the traumatic experience to a more comforting one. The goal of EMDR is to make disturbing memories less immobilizing. Think this approach might be right for you? Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s EMDR specialists today.

Feeling disconnected? Not where you thought you would be at this point in your life, right? You might just be waking up in the morning, and have an “off” feeling. Or, maybe it’s the end of the day, and you don’t feel as accomplished as you usually do. Life is a series of events that we, as people, seek to be connected to. Sometimes, it just doesn’t click. So, what do you do? Where do you go from here? That's where I come in. Schedule a free consult with me, and we can figure out a plan for you!
