EMDR therapy

During the EMDR process, we work with distressing memories and their associated emotions, somatic sensations, and negative self-beliefs. Using a structured therapeutic protocol and bilateral stimulation—most commonly side-to-side eye movements—we facilitate the processing of these experiences so that past events no longer trigger such intense emotional reactions in the present.

EMDR is most frequently used to process traumatic and painful life events. It can also be applied to address anxiety, panic, phobias, and other psychological difficulties when rooted in prior negative experiences.

The duration of EMDR therapy varies significantly. When addressing a single, specific event or isolated experience, processing may require a relatively small number of sessions. Conversely, in cases of prolonged or complex trauma, the therapeutic process is typically more extensive and includes dedicated preparation and stabilization phases.

EMDR can serve as a standalone primary treatment modality or be integrated into a broader psychotherapeutic framework.
