What is EMDR Therapy?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an effective approach for treating trauma and distressing life experiences through a structured process that includes bilateral stimulation with guided eye movements. During sessions, clients work on reprocessing traumatic memories while engaging in these movements. Many clients report a reduction in symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression.
Who Can Conduct EMDR Therapy?
At Dandelion Behavioral Health, several of our clinicians are EMDR-trained and have received training from EMDRIA, a leading organization that credentials the use of EMDR therapy. They are trained in guiding clients through the structured process of reprocessing traumatic memories and can help ease emotions linked to difficult experiences.
EMDR is very well-researched and often has quicker processing of distressing experiences compared to traditional talk therapy, which allows clients to experience improved mental health and well-being in a relatively short period.
EMDR therapy can create lasting changes in one’s self-perceptions and beliefs, leading to better coping skills, improved relationships, and a stronger sense of well-being.
“Change your thoughts and you change your world.”
If you’re struggling with the impact of trauma or overwhelming emotions, consider trying EMDR therapy with one of our trained clinicians.
