EMDR Therapy for Healing and Releasing Trauma Package (5 Sessions)

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (or short EMDR*) helps people heal from trauma or other distressing life experiences. 

EMDR helps individuals process distressing memories by using bilateral stimulation, which often involves guided eye movements, tapping, or auditory tones.

The therapy follows an eight-phase process, which includes:

1. History-taking – The therapist gathers information about the client’s past and current concerns.

2. Preparation – The therapist explains the process and teaches relaxation techniques.

3. Assessment – The client identifies a traumatic memory to focus on.

4. Desensitization – The client recalls the memory while engaging in bilateral stimulation (e.g., following the therapist’s finger with their eyes).

5. Installation – Positive beliefs are reinforced to replace negative ones.

6. Body Scan – The client checks for any remaining physical tension or distress.

7. Closure – The session ends with relaxation techniques to ensure emotional stability.

8. Reevaluation – The therapist checks progress and determines if further sessions are needed.

Why EMDR is Effective?

EMDR is based on the idea that trauma can cause memories to become “stuck” in the brain in an unprocessed state. The bilateral stimulation in EMDR is believed to mimic the brain’s natural processing mechanisms, similar to what happens during REM sleep, allowing the individual to reprocess traumatic memories in a less distressing way.
