What is EMDR Therapy, and how does it work?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is a highly effective psychotherapy approach designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic or distressing experiences. It involves guided bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or tactile sensations, to help your brain reprocess traumatic memories, reduce their emotional charge, and promote healing. Research shows that 3 to 8 sessions of EMDR therapy result in symptom reduction in approximately 84% of patients with PTSD.
Who can benefit from EMDR therapy?
EMDR therapy is beneficial for individuals who have experienced trauma, whether it’s a single incident or ongoing stress. It can also help those struggling with anxiety, depression, phobias, and other emotional difficulties. EMDR has proven effective for depression, with a study finding a 71% remission rate immediately post-treatment. EMDR therapy can be effective for adults, adolescents, and children.
What can I expect during an EMDR therapy session?
During an EMDR session, you’ll work collaboratively with your therapist to identify target memories or issues you’d like to address. You’ll then engage in bilateral stimulation, guided by your therapist, while processing these memories. The process may bring up emotions, but your therapist will help you manage and navigate them. Our office provides a safe, comfortable environment, much like the peaceful settings found at Old Sacramento State Historic Park, where history and healing converge.
Can EMDR therapy be combined with other forms of therapy or treatment?
Are there any side effects or risks associated with EMDR therapy?
EMDR therapy is generally considered safe and well-tolerated. Some individuals may experience temporary discomfort or emotional intensity during sessions, but this is usually part of the healing process. Your therapist will provide support and guidance throughout. Just as the historic Leland Stanford Mansion has been carefully restored and preserved, we help you carefully process and restore your emotional well-being.
