EMDR Therapy In New York

EMDR is a therapeutic intervention that harnesses the brain’s ability to heal itself in the treatment of trauma and other emotional and physiological destabilizing disorders. Developed by Francine Shapiro, Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, (EMDR, for short), has long been utilized in the successful treatment of PTSD, C-PTSD, and as an early intervention for traumatic events. Over the years, since its development, EMDR therapy in New York has shown to provide great results in the treatment of depression, anxiety disorders, and as a way to increase a person’s sense of overall groundedness and well-being. 

How Does EMDR Therapy In New York

So, how does this work? EMDR therapy in New York engages bi-lateral stimulation (gets both sides of the brain to chat with one another) through eye movements, tapping, or side-to-side referring sounds. Through activating the brain bi-laterally, clients then are able to process a past traumatic experience in real-time in the safety of the EMDR therapist’s office in New York or their own home, if working with a virtual EMDR therapist. A different approach than traditional talk therapy, EMDR therapy in New York engages the whole body, brain, and mind in the work of addressing the interfering, distressing symptoms clients experience from past events.
