Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

Memories don’t have to control your future. With the right guidance, healing from trauma is possible.

Overview

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences. Whether the trauma stems from a single event, such as an accident or loss, or from long-term emotional neglect or abuse, EMDR helps reduce the emotional and psychological impact of those memories.

At Restart CDA, we utilize EMDR to treat a variety of conditions, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, and panic disorders. Through this structured approach, we work with clients to change the way their brain processes distressing memories, allowing them to remember the event without the associated negative emotions.

Who This is For

EMDR is particularly helpful for individuals who:

  • Have experienced trauma, either from a single event or ongoing emotional or physical distress.
  • Struggle with negative beliefs about themselves related to past experiences (e.g., "I’m not worthy," "It was my fault").
  • Suffer from anxiety, depression, panic disorders, or PTSD.
  • Feel “stuck” in life due to unresolved emotional issues linked to past experiences.

What to Expect

EMDR involves an eight-phase treatment process that helps rewire the brain’s response to traumatic memories. During an EMDR session:

  • You will be asked to recall distressing memories while engaging in a form of bilateral stimulation (such as side-to-side eye movements or tapping).
  • This process helps desensitize the emotional charge of the memory while allowing your brain to reprocess it in a healthier way.
  • Over time, EMDR helps separate negative beliefs from the memory, allowing you to move forward without the weight of those emotions.

EMDR is a proven, safe, and effective treatment for trauma and many other psychological conditions. Each session is customized to meet the specific needs of the client.

If past trauma or anxiety is holding you back from living a full and peaceful life, EMDR at Restart CDA could be the solution you need.
