Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR helps your brain reprocess distressing experiences using bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements, tapping, or sounds). This technique activates both sides of the brain, allowing you to release emotional blocks and shift how painful memories are stored—without needing to retell them in detail.
EMDR Treatment for Trauma and PTSD in Troy MI
The EMDR process at Healing Roots Psychotherapy is gentle, structured, and paced according to your needs.
It typically includes:
-
Building Safety and Coping Tools:
We begin with a strong focus on safety, grounding, and emotional regulation.
You’ll learn skills to manage stress both in and outside of sessions. -
Identifying Targets:
Together, we identify past memories, current triggers, or beliefs that may be causing emotional pain or holding you back. -
Bilateral Stimulation for Reprocessing:
Using techniques like guided eye movements or tactile stimulation, we help your brain process painful memories and form new, more adaptive beliefs. -
Integrating Positive Beliefs:
As the distress fades, we strengthen beliefs like “I am safe,” “I am enough,” or “I can move forward,” supporting deeper self-worth and healing.
