Efficient trauma treatment begins with a trauma-informed therapist. A trauma-informed therapist understands the impact trauma has on an individual somatically (in the body) and psychologically (in the mind). When an individual works with a trauma-informed therapist, they can feel reassured that the therapist is aware of the complexity of one’s suffering, emotional pain and how it can manifest into a variety of symptoms and affect a person’s mental health. A trauma-informed therapist will have likely heard explicit, horrific and unimaginable stories from survivors. Please know, your story is welcome and there is never a story to “small” or too “much” to be heard.

EMDR helps to relieve trapped trauma in the body. Trapped trauma can look like uncontrollable twitching, aches, pains, muscle tension, shaking etc. EMDR can help process through body memories which can occur when you process through trauma. EMDR can also help unstuck memories trapped in the body.
In talk therapy, the Therapist actively listens as the individual discusses their thoughts, feelings, behaviors etc. The individual is supported as the Therapist provides a non-judgmental safe place for the individual to discuss trauma details. This has great benefits for many. However, many individuals have a difficult time talking about the trauma and get stuck in feeling frozen, scared and often dissociate. This is very common. With EMDR, the Therapist will focus only on body sensations and feelings and use Bilateral Stimulation with hand buzzes or headphones to help desensitize the sensations and feelings to help reduce trauma related somatic symptoms.
EMDR is NOT hypnosis. The individual is awake and aware the whole time and is in control. The individual will have one ear in the Trauma Room and one ear in the Therapy Room, so the individual brings up the trauma memory in their head (Trauma Room) and listens to the Therapist (Therapy Room).
No. The benefit of EMDR is working with the body, which is where the trauma has been trapped. The individual does not have to talk about all the details and can work through the trauma by identifying feelings, sensations and limited details (ex. I was in my bedroom when it happened).
The Therapist will review the basics of how EMDR works, answer your questions, develop a treatment plan and goals, and obtain permission to proceed with EMDR treatment.The Therapist will ask you a set a question which can include identifying your negative core belief, an adaptive positive belief, the intensity of your negative belief and other questions.The Therapist will utilized Bilateral Stimulation with either hand buzzers which the individual will hold in the palms of their hands or where a set of headphones that will give a bell sound. The Therapist will be observing your body language to check for dissociation and to determine how present you are in the session. EMDR processing will continue until the past experience and negative core belief has been applied as the identified positive belief.
