emdr therapy
​Traumatic events can cling to our consciousness and impact our thoughts, relationships, and everyday lives long after the event is "over." Therapists at B'well Counseling Services continually pursue further education and training to offer a wealth of modalities.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Processing) is a form of psychotherapy that helps clients navigate the lingering mental pain that can remain after a traumatic event. Although often associated with treatment for PTSD, many people have found EMDR helps to relieve symptoms caused more generally by trauma and distress.
The brain stores traumatic memories differently from "normal" memories, which can sever connections between sense components from the memory of the event. The brain is unable to process that the traumatic event has ended, and remains in a state of anxiety. This is what causes "flashbacks" commonly associated with PTSD. Sights, sounds, and smells can "trigger" the brain into believing it is actively experiencing the trauma. EMDR therapy uses eye movements and therapeutic guidance to connect physiological responses back to the memory, leading the brain to understand the threat has passed.
​
Therapists at B'well Counseling see therapy as a holistic endeavor and help clients explore the modalities that fit their needs and goals. Scientifically-backed studies have shown that EMDR therapy can alleviate symptoms of PTSD and other trauma-related experiences.
