Frequently Asked Questions

How does EMDR work?

EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (eye movements or other forms) while processing traumatic memories to help the brain reprocess these experiences in a less distressing way, similar to what happens during REM sleep.

How long does EMDR treatment take?

Treatment length varies based on individual needs and trauma complexity. Some people experience relief in 6-12 sessions, while others may need more time for complex or multiple traumas.

What conditions can EMDR help with?

EMDR is effective for PTSD, trauma, anxiety, phobias, depression, and other conditions where distressing memories play a role in current symptoms.
