EMDR Therapy in Pennsylvania
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy
EMDR therapy is a modality proven to help people recover from trauma, complex PTSD, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) negative self-beliefs, harmful behavioral patterns, and other distressing life experiences.
EMDR addresses physical sensations, images, negative emotions, and negative thought patterns. These are connected to the memory of a traumatic or distressing life event.
Treatment with EMDR utilizes eye movements to stimulate both sides of the brain, mimicking REM sleep, such as when our brains process recent life events. By replicating this process with a specific memory and negative self-belief, people are able to reprocess traumatic memories that are causing current-day distress.
There are 8 phases of treatment to complete in EMDR Treatment
Throughout the phases of treatment, we bring attention to past memories. These could be contributing to current day problems, everyday experiences, and what you might need for the future. The goal is to help you deal with these problems more effectively.
The phases of EMDR include

The goal of EMDR therapy in Pennsylvania is to process past and current experiences that are causing issues in your everyday life. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy don’t require verbal processing like traditional talk therapy. This treatment relies on your brain and trusts in its natural and ability. Your brain can reprocess and integrate previous life experiences to allow you to live in the present. And ultimately, help you move toward your future with more ease.
But, how does working with EMDRIA Therapists in Horsham, Pennsylvania do this?
When we experience a traumatic or distressing life event, our brains and our bodies kick in and take care of us by responding to that stress. These responses are normal and natural, and are often referred to as flight, flight, or freeze responses. Many times our brains heal from difficult or traumatic experiences naturally. Other times, these experiences seem to get stuck in our brain, resulting in pieces of those memories or experiences causing distress in the current day. Through the adaptive information processing model, EMDR supports healing from traumatic events.
EMDR for trauma in Pennsylvania helps the brain tap into stress responses (trauma responses) and what is connected to them (memories of a disturbing event, bodily sensations, negative self-beliefs). EMDR Treatment near me helps get memories unstuck, resulting in less distress and access to more positive beliefs about yourself.
