How EMDR Therapy Works
We begin the EMDR process by taking the time to ensure you feel completely safe in session. The transformative power of EMDR isn’t possible without trust and safety being present, so creating a secure, supportive space is the foundation of our work together. During this stage, we also focus on building self-care strategies and stable supports that you can rely on between sessions, as EMDR can bring up intense emotions.
Once you feel grounded and equipped with these regulation tools, we begin identifying past traumas. This includes both big “T” traumas, like abuse, and small “t” traumas, such as attachment wounds or experiences that still impact your emotional responses. Because the brain doesn’t always distinguish between the two, addressing all types of trauma is important for comprehensive healing.
After identifying these experiences, we ensure you have the necessary resources and coping strategies in place to safely process them. From there, we move into the heart of EMDR: reprocessing past events to reduce their emotional intensity and integrate them in a way that allows healing. The goal is to help you reclaim a sense of calm, safety, and control, while building resilience that carries into your everyday life.
EMDR Therapy FAQs

-
In an EMDR session, we’ll guide you to focus on specific memories or experiences while using bilateral stimulation, like taps or buzzies, to help your brain reprocess the trauma. You won’t need to relive every detail, EMDR focuses on the way the memory affects you now, helping your mind and body release the intensity of those past experiences safely.
-
EMDR is highly individualized, so the timeline varies. Some clients notice relief from distressing feelings or reactions within a few sessions, while deeper processing may take longer. Progress often comes in stages; small shifts in emotional intensity and bodily reactions build into lasting change over time.
-
No, you don’t have to go into every detail of your experiences. EMDR works by accessing the emotions, sensations, and beliefs tied to the memory, not by recounting the trauma like a story. This allows healing without retraumatizing or forcing you to relive what happened.
-
You know you’re ready for EMDR when you have some awareness of the patterns or memories that are affecting you and feel willing to explore them in a safe, supported space. Early sessions focus on building safety, coping skills, and self-regulation, so even if you’re unsure, we make sure you have the tools to feel grounded throughout the process.
-
EMDR therapy can be done both in person and online. Online EMDR is highly effective when conducted in a secure, private setting, and with guidance on how to stay safe and grounded throughout the session. Many clients find it convenient while still experiencing the full benefits of the process.
