This therapy focuses on addressing an individual's current difficulties that past memories and emotions may heavily influence. If you often experience feelings of unworthiness without understanding why, it is likely that past situations or emotions are overwhelming you. EMDR therapy can help address this common issue. Our brains create neural pathways that store memory sequences of similar experiences, and EMDR accesses these pathways through rapid eye movement. This allows the brain to reprocess the events along the pathway and helps the individual adapt to newer, updated information related to these memories.
EMDR Therapy offers several benefits for individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, and trauma. Some of the benefits include:
EMDR Therapy is suitable for individuals experiencing difficulties related to past memories and emotions that affect their current well-being. It can benefit those struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, phobias, and other emotional challenges. EMDR Therapy is particularly helpful for individuals who feel overwhelmed or paralyzed by their past and find it difficult to function in their day-to-day lives. It is important to work with a trained EMDR therapist who can assess if this therapy is suitable for your specific needs.
