The EMDR Treatment Approach

Welcome to another enlightening episode of the Colorado Counseling Podcast, presented by Overcomers Counseling. Today, we take a look into a powerful psychotherapy technique known as EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing.

EMDR has been instrumental in helping people cope with trauma and other distressing life experiences. Our goal for this episode is to demystify EMDR, breaking down its process, and shedding light on how it can be an effective tool in your healing journey.

EMDR is a type of psychotherapy designed to alleviate symptoms stemming from distressing and unresolved life events. It uses a structured approach to address past, present, and future aspects of disturbing memories, which you can learn more about through our individual EMDR counseling services.

The premise behind EMDR therapy is that our brains have an inherent ability to process experiences and move towards mental health. However, traumatic events can overwhelm this natural process, leading to distressing symptoms.

EMDR utilizes a patient's rapid, rhythmic eye movements to treat these symptoms. These eye movements help to lessen the intensity of emotionally charged memories from past traumas, enabling people to cultivate healthier coping strategies.
