As an EMDR therapist, I like to get to the root of things.
You have tried SO hard to change things yourself, but you just feel stuck in the same patterns. Same struggles in relationships, difficulty trusting yourself and others, over-reacting to the smallest things, and feeling like you can never let your guard down. You constantly wonder what is wrong with you. For new parents, maybe you’re struggling to bridge the gap between what you expected things to be and what they actually are. Facing fertility struggles, pregnancy complications, a birth that looks nothing like you imagined. You find yourself thinking, it shouldn’t be like this. Wherever you are, you are not alone.

Do you feel like you are existing rather than fully living… like a passenger in your own life? Living life on ‘auto-pilot’ can leave us feeling unfulfilled, full of self-doubt and disconnected from our true selves and from others. Perhaps you feel like you are spinning your wheels in life – like something is missing in terms of your self-worth, career or relationships. Maybe you feel estranged from who you really are, lost or ‘off-track’ in your direction, and wondering how you got here. Or stuck in repetitive patterns with disappointing results. All of this can sap your energy and make life feel like a ‘slog’.

EMDR Therapists

Who is EMDR for?

EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.

Why do people need EMDR?

People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.

What problems does EMDR treat?

First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.

What happens in EMDR therapy?

First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimizing its ability to trigger anxiety.
