What is EMDR?
The therapy approach,
EMDR:
Your mental health is just as important as your physical health, and being attuned to your emotional well-being is essential for a balanced life.
If you’re dealing with traumatic events or distressing memories or have other concerns which make life a struggle, you might wonder how to effectively process and recover from these challenges. One therapeutic approach you might consider is EMDR—Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing.
In the video, Executive Director Amy Bloch, LISW, explains how EMDR works and its benefits. This approach is used to treat a range of issues including PTSD, anxiety, depression, phobias, and chronic pain. Additionally, EMDR can help reframe limiting beliefs, boost self-esteem, and build emotional resilience.
Understanding how EMDR can support your mental health can be empowering. With the right therapy, many individuals find significant relief and enhanced emotional well-being.
