Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a powerful and proven method for treating trauma. At Aloft Healing Studios, we offer EMDR therapy near Brookwood Estates, Georgia, to help clients process painful experiences and release negative beliefs. Whether you’re struggling with PTSD, anxiety, or relational trauma, EMDR therapy can lead to deep and lasting healing.
How Does EMDR Therapy Work?
EMDR therapy uses bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements, tapping, or sounds, to access opposite sides of the brain. This process mirrors what happens during REM sleep, when the brain naturally processes and integrates memories. By reprocessing stuck or distressing memories, EMDR restores emotional balance and reduces distress.
During an EMDR session:
- Triggers: Your therapist will help you identify traumatic memories, triggers, and negative beliefs.
- Bilateral Stimulation: Techniques like eye movements, tapping, or auditory cues are used to access traumatic memories.
- Integration and Healing: Memories are reprocessed into healthier associations, reducing emotional distress and fostering positive beliefs.
