EMDR Therapy
Healing Trauma with EMDR
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a research-backed, highly effective therapy that helps people heal from distressing or traumatic experiences. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR focuses on helping the brain reprocess painful memories so they no longer feel overwhelming, intrusive, or defining.
How EMDR Works
When we experience trauma — including emotional abuse, gaslighting, or long-term invalidation — those memories can get “stuck” in the nervous system, triggering emotional and physical responses long after the event.
EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements, tapping, or sounds) while you briefly recall difficult experiences. This process helps the brain reprocess the memory in a more adaptive way, reducing the emotional charge and allowing healing to occur at a deeper level.
EMDR and Narcissistic Abuse
Many survivors of narcissistic abuse carry invisible wounds: chronic self-doubt, shame, anxiety, and confusion about their own perceptions. EMDR is especially effective in addressing the lingering effects of these experiences — helping clients heal from emotional manipulation, rebuild self-trust, and release internalized blame. You don’t have to relive the trauma in detail; EMDR works without requiring extensive retelling of the story, making it a gentle yet powerful option for trauma recovery.
What to Expect
EMDR sessions are carefully structured and paced to ensure safety and stability. We begin with building trust, grounding tools, and identifying target memories. When you're ready, we’ll move into the reprocessing phase, always with your consent and control. Clients often report feeling lighter, more empowered, and more connected to themselves after completing EMDR treatment.
If you’re curious about whether EMDR is right for you, I’d be happy to answer any questions and explore it together in a way that feels safe and supportive.
