Common questions
What is EMDR and how does it work?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured therapy in which you briefly focus on a distressing memory while your therapist guides you through sets of bilateral stimulation — usually side-to-side eye movements. This is thought to help the brain reprocess the memory so it feels less vivid and less overwhelming. It's delivered in phases and doesn't require talking through every detail of what happened.
What does EMDR help with?
EMDR is well-researched for trauma and PTSD, and many therapists also use it for anxiety, grief, distressing memories, and phobias. Each therapist's profile lists the concerns and populations they work with, so you can find a good fit.
