Your questions, answered

What is EMDR therapy?

EMDR uses bilateral stimulation with structured protocols to help the brain reprocess distressing memories and reduce symptoms. Treatment follows phases: history, stabilization, target selection, reprocessing, and installation. Many people notice reduced reactivity and improved function after a course of sessions. Some also report EMDR therapy can complete well with Trauma counselling

Is EMDR right for me?

EMDR can help with trauma, anxiety, and grief when adequate stabilization is in place. Your clinician will assess readiness, medical factors, and supports. Plans include grounding skills and contingency steps to prevent overwhelm. Trauma counselling may complement this approach.

How long does EMDR take?

Course length varies with history and goals. Some targets resolve in a few sessions; complex trauma needs longer timelines with regular progress reviews.

What happens in an EMDR session?

After preparation, you briefly focus on a target memory while following bilateral cues. Arousal is monitored and adaptive processing is supported with stabilization skills before and after.

How do I start EMDR therapy?

A consult reviews goals and history, then begins stabilization and target planning with instructions for between-session practice to support comfort and integration.
