WHAT IS EMDR?

Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing

EMDR is a therapy that changes the way traumatic material is stored. One way people process disturbing events is through rapid eye movement (REM) when they sleep. EMDR uses the these eye movements during a conscious state. The material loses its emotional charge and is stored in a more adaptive way

EMDR IS EFFECTIVE FOR: 

TRAUMA

INSOMNIA

PTSD

MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENTS

PANIC ATTACKS

GRIEF

ANXIETY

DISTURBING MEMORIES

PHOBIAS

EMOTIONAL ABUSE

ADDICTION

SEXUAL AND/OR PHYSICAL ABUSE

EFFECTS OF TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCES:

  • Recurrent, distressing memories

  • Reliving the traumatic event

  • Avoiding thinking or talking about an event & places, people that remind you of it

  • Negative thoughts about yourself like feeling depressed and having anxiety

  • Being “stuck” and feeling emotionally numb

  • Insomnia & headaches

  • Feeling on guard or easily startled

  • Self destructive behaviour like drinking too much

SIGNS OF PTSD

Symptoms of trauma

Only a licensed mental health professional can assess, diagnosis & treat post-traumatic stress. But there are some behaviours that are signs of PTSD. If you have been traumatized you may have experienced repeated & disturbing memories, thoughts & images of a specific experience.
