For over 35 years, EMDR has helped millions overcome the lasting effects of trauma and distressing experiences. By integrating neurobiology, cognitive, and behavioral approaches, EMDR offers a proven protocol to, as creator Francine Shapiro described, “get past your past.”

The process involves recalling difficult memories while experiencing bilateral stimulation, allowing your brain to reprocess unhealed moments. This taps into your mind’s natural healing ability, known as Adaptive Information Processing, to reduce or eliminate the emotional charge of those memories. After successful EMDR, clients often feel lighter, with old memories losing their grip—sometimes even fading from intrusive thoughts.

While EMDR is renowned for treating PTSD and trauma from events like war, accidents, or abuse, its benefits extend further. It can also address phobias, grief, addictions, performance anxiety, and other “stuck” experiences that may not feel like traditional trauma. If you’re wondering whether EMDR could help, don’t rule it out—ask us.
