EMDR Therapy

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a game-changing modality and a powerful therapeutic tool. EMDR aims to reduce symptoms of trauma and negative beliefs that hold us back, by changing how your memories are stored in your brain. Here at The Mind Lab, we do this by leading you through a series of simple steps as your brain’s processing system recalls the previously unprocessed, traumatic or triggering experiences in small segments, until those memories no longer cause distress.

Consistent with over two decades of studies, EMDR continues to be shown to dramatically decrease and inactivate the emotional intensity and vividness of traumatic memories. EMDR therapy has also been demonstrated to improve cognitive processing, encourage emotional regulation, and develop stress-resilient coping mechanisms. It’s powerful, effective and is shown to contribute to quicker healing. With advance trainings and experience, I am able to offer this specialized work with my clients in person and virtually.

How is EMDR Therapy Different Than Other Therapies?

There is no need for in-depth, detailed reviews of the memories, there is no additional homework in between sessions when receiving EMDR therapy. EMDR therapy simply calls on your memories and relies on your brain’s natural healing process - which is what your brain has always wanted. Now that your brain is activated, comes balance, comes relief, and most of all, the freedom of carrying all that discomfort and destructive beliefs that hold all of us back. Compared to other psychotherapies, EMDR therapy can be finished in fewer sessions for many clients.

Is EMDR Therapy Right For You?

As with each therapeutic intervention, each person and their individual symptom presentation, ability and willingness, determine what tool for you meets most your needs. EMDR as a tool will look different for each person, depending on what each individual feels they can bring to the room. For some, using EMDR as a tool in psychotherapy is most effective, where with others, we may be able to use this tool for memory and information processing.
