EMDR Therapy
How Does EMDR Work?
EMDR involves a structured eight-phase approach:

- Treatment Planning: A personalized treatment plan is developed to address your specific needs.
- Preparation: You will learn about the EMDR process and coping techniques.
- Assessment: Target memories are identified and processed.
- Desensitization: You’ll focus on the distressing memory while engaging in bilateral stimulation (typically through guided eye movements).
- Installation: Positive beliefs are reinforced.
- Body Scan: Any remaining physical tension or discomfort is addressed.
- Closure: You’ll discuss your progress, and future sessions are planned if needed.
