EMDR Therapy Winter Park: EMDR FAQs
About EMDR Therapy
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is a powerful psychotherapy technique that has been proven effective in treating various mental health conditions such as anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), phobias, and more. At Mary Bruce Johnston, we offer EMDR therapy services in Winter Park that can help you find a smart path to wellness.
How Does EMDR Therapy Work?
EMDR therapy works by utilizing bilateral stimulation techniques, such as eye movements or hand tapping, to activate both sides of the brain. This process helps to reprocess and integrate distressing or traumatic memories, thoughts, and emotions that contribute to your symptoms.
By focusing on specific memories or triggers while following the therapist's instructions, the brain's natural healing ability is stimulated, leading to desensitization and the development of more adaptive coping mechanisms. EMDR therapy addresses the root causes of your distress and aims to resolve these issues at their core.
What Can EMDR Therapy Help With?
EMDR therapy has shown remarkable success in addressing a wide range of issues, including:
- Anxiety and panic attacks
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Phobias and fears
- Depression
- Low self-esteem
- Relationship challenges
- Addictions
- Grief and loss
- Performance anxiety
- And much more!
