What is EMDR and Who Can it Benefit?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing in Denver, CO

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful and evidence-based therapeutic approach designed to help individuals heal from traumatic experiences and distressing memories. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR doesn't require detailed discussion of the trauma. Instead, it focuses on the brain's natural healing, helping you to process and release the emotional pain associated with past events. The reprocessing that happens during EMDR allows you to rewire your brain and see clarity, new observations, and insights surrounding the traumatic event you experienced helping you heal and move forward in ways that traditional talk therapy may have been unable to in the past.

How Does EMDR Work

EMDR therapy is based on the idea that trauma and negative experiences can overwhelm the brain's natural ability to cope, causing these memories to become "stuck" and continue to affect your emotions and behavior long after the event. During an EMDR session, your therapist will guide you through a series of bilateral stimulation exercises—often involving eye movements, taps, or sounds—while you focus on specific aspects of the traumatic memory. This process helps the brain reprocess the memory, allowing you to gain new insights and emotional distance from the experience.

What is Trauma 

Trauma is the emotional and psychological response to an event or series of events that are deeply distressing or disturbing. It can result from experiences that overwhelm an individual's ability to cope, leaving them feeling helpless, frightened, or disconnected. Trauma can stem from various sources, such as accidents, natural disasters, violence, abuse, loss, or any other situation that causes significant emotional pain.

​

Trauma is not defined by the event itself but by your personal experience and reaction to it. What may be traumatic for one person might not be for another, depending on factors like past experiences, support systems, and resilience.

 

Trauma can manifest in various ways, including flashbacks, nightmares, anxiety, depression, and physical symptoms like headaches or fatigue. It can affect every aspect of your life, from relationships and work to your overall sense of safety and well-being. 

​

Relational trauma can be difficult to describe and pin point. Ofter people who have experienced relational trauma don't believe what they experienced was "bad enough" or would meet the criteria of the larger definition of trauma. However, research shows that loads, neglect, and abandonment from the people we love can be some of the most devastating trauma. A breakup or divorce, a betrayal such as cheating, or even parents who were not emotionally available or present growing up can leave painful  traumatic scars. EMDR can help uncover and process some one these less concrete traumatic events in your life.
