EMDR THERAPY
What Is EMDR?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain and body process unresolved trauma, stress, and patterns that feel stuck. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation such as gentle eye movements, tones, or tapping to support the nervous system in releasing old survival responses and integrating more adaptive beliefs.
Unlike many talk-based approaches, EMDR does not require you to retell every detail or re-live the pain. The process helps your system recognize that what happened is over, allowing more ease, capacity, and emotional range in the present.
EMDR While You Stay With Your Current Therapist
At Psyche Soma Practice, EMDR is offered as adjunct work. This means you continue with your current therapist while partnering with me for focused trauma processing.
This collaborative model is ideal for people who already have a trusted therapist and want targeted support for a specific trauma, repeating relational pattern, or body-based response that has not shifted through insight alone.
Many people seek adjunct EMDR for:
-
intrusive memories or lingering traumatic imprints
-
freeze, fawn, or shutdown responses
-
emotional reactivity that feels out of proportion
-
repeating relationship patterns
-
chronic anxiety or stress held in the body
With your consent, I communicate directly with your primary therapist so EMDR supports your ongoing treatment goals. This approach strengthens your therapy and supports deeper integration across mind, body, and nervous system.
Why Adjunct EMDR Works
Adjunct EMDR can:
-
regulate the nervous system
-
expand emotional capacity
-
reduce somatic reactivity
-
support identity shifts and life transitions
-
create new pathways for choice, connection, and safety
This work honors the therapy you are already doing and offers an additional modality for processing what has felt hard to reach.
