Distressing experiences can continue to affect a person’s emotions, behaviors, relationships, or daily functioning long after the original event has occurred. EMDR therapy is a trauma-focused treatment designed to help clients process distressing experiences and address trauma-related symptoms. It may be used with children, adolescents, or adults when clinically appropriate and can be relevant when difficult experiences continue to cause distress.
How It Works
The therapeutic process focuses on experiences and responses connected to trauma, including:
- Identifying distressing experiences and related concerns
- Exploring thoughts, emotions, and responses associated with those experiences
- Using EMDR-based therapeutic techniques to process distressing memories
- Addressing trauma-related emotional and behavioral responses
- Developing ways to manage distress during the therapeutic process
What to Expect
EMDR therapy is provided according to the individual’s needs and treatment goals, with the pace and focus determined throughout the course of treatment. Sessions may occur weekly, biweekly, monthly, or as clinically appropriate based on the service arrangement and client’s circumstances. Progress and ongoing needs are reviewed over time so the therapeutic focus can be adjusted when appropriate.
