Move what trauma left behind.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is an integrative, well-researched approach to processing adverse life experiences and PTSD.
Have distressing or adverse life events caused anxiety, depression, or disconnection? Do you suffer from trauma-related scars, nightmares or flashbacks? Are you living with post-traumatic stress disorder? You should know you are not alone.
EMDR uses bilateral stimulation — often eye movements — to repeatedly activate opposite sides of the brain, mimicking the REM phase of sleep when the mind naturally processes recent events. Over time, the emotional weight of stuck memories softens, and your nervous system gets a chance to rest. As one article in The Permanente Journal puts it, EMDR provides “an efficient approach to address psychological and physiologic symptoms stemming from adverse life experiences.”
Recovery is possible. Even experiences that have shaped you for years can become something you carry differently.
- Anxiety, depression or panic with unclear origin
