EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a scientifically validated psychotherapy method that was originally developed for trauma and PTSD. Over time, its applications have expanded to many other areas, including anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, self-worth issues, limiting beliefs, and more.


Developed by Dr. Francine Shapiro in the late 1980s, EMDR helps process and resolve distressing memories using bilateral stimulation - such as guided eye movements or tactile cues. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR works on a much deeper level, enabling your brain to reprocess painful memories and traumatic experiences so they lose their emotional charge and intensity.


EMDR is a gentle yet powerful therapy that helps your brain heal from distressing experiences. Instead of just coping with the pain, EMDR helps you process and release it, so it no longer controls your life.

Why is EMDR so effective:

  • Supports the brain’s natural healing process and can resolve emotional pain and trauma on a much deeper level than traditional talk therapies
  • Fast results: Often, significant improvement is noticed after just a few sessions
  • Gentle process: EMDR allows you to process painful memories and emotions without repeatedly reliving the distressing situation
  • Scientifically proven: EMDR is one of the most researched methods for treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and is successfully used worldwide

EMDR can be of great help if you are struggling in the following areas:

  • Overcoming past emotional challenges and painful experiences
  • Healing from grief and loss
  • Navigating difficult life transitions (e.g., accidents, loss of a loved one, separation, job changes, retirement, workplace challenges)
  • Overcoming emotional heaviness and low levels of enery and motivation
  • Releasing emotional blocks and moving forward
  • Healing from physical, emotional, or relational struggles
  • Managing stress and building inner calm
  • Overcoming limiting fears and self-doubt
  • Transforming unhealthy coping mechanisms
  • Addressing chronic discomfort and physical tension
  • Releasing tension that manifests physically
  • Strengthening self-worth and confidence
  • Overcoming performance barriers and unlocking potential
