What is EMDR?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a therapeutic approach designed to help individuals process traumatic memories and experiences that may have become “stuck” in the brain. When we experience trauma, our brain sometimes struggles to fully process and integrate those memories, leading to ongoing emotional distress or intrusive thoughts. EMDR uses guided bilateral stimulation—such as eye movements or tapping—to help the brain reprocess these memories in a way that reduces their emotional charge and allows for healthier coping. This process helps shift the way we relate to painful memories, making them less disruptive and enabling us to move forward with greater emotional balance and resilience.
In my heart-centered healing approach, EMDR aligns deeply with my belief in healing from a place of compassion, presence, and self-connection. By integrating EMDR with somatic practices and mindfulness, we create space for not only releasing the emotional weight of past trauma but also for nurturing the heart’s capacity to heal, grow, and thrive. It’s a way of moving through your past with care and compassion, while reconnecting with your authentic self and building a more peaceful, grounded future.
