EMDR Therapy

EMDR and Trauma

Did you know that trauma symptoms are primarily stored in your body? You didn’t ask, but I’m going to let you in on a little secret - intellectualizing your trauma through traditional talk therapy might not get you the therapy outcomes you want. Trauma’s wild like that.

So how do we reduce your trauma symptoms & help you move forward in life?

Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) is a safe & effective therapy tool used to resolve unprocessed trauma memories & symptoms. Unlike traditional talk therapy, you won’t verbally rehash the trauma over and over again, which can be retraumatizing, dysregulating, & counterproductive to your healing.

And @ Big Mood Therapy, your EMDR therapy is 100% online.

The nitty gritty of EMDR therapy

First, we’ll make sure you’ve got some banging coping strategies prior to your EMDR Therapy.

Then we’ll get comfy.

Emotional support water bottle?

A calm & serene environment?

Post-therapy snacks?

Finally, we’ll get started by picking an unpleasant memory or disturbing experience contributing to your unwanted symptoms.

You’ll recall the details of the event in your mind, and we’ll use visual & auditory bilateral stimulation (back and forth movement) to safely guide you through the painful sensations, emotions, thoughts, & beliefs resulting from the disturbing memory.

The outcome?

We can’t go back and change or erase what happened to you.

However, EMDR Therapy CAN reduce the intensity of your trauma symptoms and automatic coping strategies + help you develop healthier messages about yourself and the world.
