EMDR Therapy FAQs
What is EMDR therapy, and how does it work?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a specialized therapy designed to help the brain process and heal from traumatic memories. Through guided eye movements or bilateral stimulation, EMDR helps reframe distressing experiences so they no longer trigger intense emotional distress.

EMDR is highly effective for individuals struggling with:
✔ PTSD & Trauma Recovery (single-event or complex trauma)
✔ First Responder & Healthcare Professional Stress
✔ Anxiety, Phobias, & Panic Attacks
✔ Past Emotional or Physical Abuse
Do I have to talk about my trauma in detail during EMDR?
No. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR allows you to process trauma without reliving it in detail. This makes it a gentler approach for those who find it difficult to verbalize painful experiences.
Do you offer therapy specifically for first responders?
