Trauma Therapy through Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
Embrace Recovery
Trauma and PTSD
We can help you process and and reduce distress from single-incident trauma (e.g., accidents, assaults) and complex trauma (e.g., prolonged abuse or neglect).
​​
Addictions & Compulsive Behaviours
By addressing triggers, cravings, and underlying traumatic experiences, we can help identify contributing factors and support breaking the cycle.
​
Memory Processing
Through EDMR, we can help you reprocess distressing or traumatic memories, reducing the emotional charge and allowing for a more adaptive understanding of the event.
​
Reducing Impact
We can help reduce the vividness and emotional intensity of distressing or traumatic memories, which can lead to a decrease in symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, and anxiety.
Bilateral Stimulation
EMDR utilizes bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements, hand tapping, or auditory tones, to engage both sides of the brain while recalling the traumatic memory.
​​​
Depression, Grief, and Loss
We can help you explore past experiences that contribute to depressive symptoms, and process complicated grief or unresolved mourning.
​
Anxiety Disorders
By targeting the root memories or beliefs, we can help you address phobias, panic attacks, social anxiety, and generalized anxiety.
Not Talk Therapy
EMDR differs from traditional talk therapy by emphasizing the processing of the memory itself, rather than concentrating only on the emotional or cognitive responses associated with it.
