Unlock Your Brain’s Natural Ability to Heal
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy is an evidence based method that’s designed to help people get over and heal from the emotional impact of tough, or traumatic experiences. Here at MA Counseling, LLC, we are using EMDR to help our clients feel less overwhelmed by painful memories, get back to a stronger, more resilient state, and find a lot more confidence and calm in their lives.
EMDR therapy is built on the understanding that the brain has got a natural ability to recover from distress. When traumatic or just plain overwhelming experiences aren’t fully processed, they can just keep on affecting the way you think, feel and behave. EMDR helps your brain to reprocess those experiences in a way that promotes healing and puts your feet back on the ground.
How EMDR Therapy Actually Works
EMDR involves a very structured approach, it includes using bilateral stimulation like guided eye movements or tapping or sound cues, while the client focuses on the specific memories or experiences that are causing the distress. This helps the brain to reprocess the memories so they’re no longer so raw and painful. And because of this, the client can start to feel like things aren’t getting in their way as much in everyday life.
One thing to note about EMDR is that it’s not like traditional talk therapy where you have to go into loads of detail about your experience. We don’t need to go on and on about what happened, we just need to understand how the memory is stored in the brain and how we can make it less painful to live with. Over time, people often notice a real reduction in their emotional pain, and they get some really useful skills for coping with stuff too.
What EMDR Can Actually Help With
EMDR is really good at treating problems tied to trauma that might include post traumatic stress, or experiences of childhood trauma, abuse or neglect. Here at MA Counseling, LLC, we are also using EMDR to help people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, phobias, panic attacks, and the kind of distress that comes with a big life change.
Lots of people come to us looking for EMDR because they feel stuck, or overwhelmed by the past and how it’s still affecting their life today. EMDR can really help reduce the triggers and the negative stuff that comes up with bad memories.
