EMDR Therapy in North Carolina
At C&C Betterworks, we are committed to providing our clients with the most effective, evidence-based therapies available. One such therapy is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR. EMDR Therapy is a powerful tool that can help individuals process traumatic experiences and move towards healing.
What is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR Therapy is a unique, nontraditional form of psychotherapy designed to diminish negative feelings associated with memories of traumatic events. Unlike most forms of talk therapy, EMDR focuses less on the traumatic event itself and more on the disturbing emotions and symptoms that result from the event.
Through EMDR Therapy, patients can learn to more effectively manage their reactions and emotions related to the trauma. The therapy uses an eight-phase approach that includes having the patient recall distressing images while receiving one of several types of bilateral sensory input, such as side-to-side eye movements.
Understanding EMDR and Its Benefits
Understanding EMDR is key to appreciating its benefits. EMDR is considered particularly effective for those who struggle with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It can also be used to treat conditions like anxiety, depression, and panic disorders.
The goal of EMDR is to fully process past experiences and sort out the emotions attached to those experiences. Processing does not mean talking about it. It means setting up a learning state that will allow experiences that are causing problems to be digested and stored appropriately in your brain.
