EMDR Therapy

Heal from Trauma, Reclaim Your Peace, and Move Forward with Confidence

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful, evidence-based therapy designed to help individuals recover from trauma and emotional distress. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR focuses on how traumatic memories are stored in the brain and aims to reprocess them—reducing their emotional intensity and helping you move beyond the pain.

At My Life Recovery, EMDR is part of our holistic treatment model for trauma, anxiety, PTSD, and co-occurring disorders. With compassionate care and expert guidance, we help you uncover relief, rediscover peace, and take meaningful steps toward healing.

What Is EMDR Therapy?

A Science-Based Approach to Trauma and Emotional Healing
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured therapy method proven to help individuals process distressing memories and emotions. Initially developed to treat PTSD, EMDR has shown effectiveness for a wide range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, and substance use.

The therapy uses bilateral stimulation—such as eye movements, auditory tones, or tapping—while the client focuses on traumatic or upsetting memories. This process supports the brain’s natural healing ability, helping reframe negative thoughts, reduce emotional distress, and restore balance.

The goal of EMDR isn’t to erase painful experiences—but to change how you experience them emotionally, giving you the freedom to move forward without being controlled by your past.

Who Can Benefit from EMDR Therapy?

EMDR therapy is especially helpful for individuals who feel stuck in their recovery journey or overwhelmed by unresolved trauma. It is commonly used to treat:

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Anxiety and panic disorders
Depression related to past trauma
Childhood abuse, neglect, or accidents
Addiction and substance use tied to emotional pain

Whether you’ve experienced a single traumatic event or prolonged emotional hardship, EMDR can help you find clarity and healing in a safe, structured space.

How EMDR Therapy Works

A Step-by-Step Approach to Reprocessing Trauma and Building Emotional Resilience
Our licensed therapists guide clients through the EMDR process with compassion, care, and individualized support. Each phase of therapy is designed to promote safety, insight, and long-term healing.

Take The First Step

Dual Diagnosis Support

We begin with a full clinical assessment to identify trauma history, emotional triggers, and any co-occurring conditions such as anxiety, depression, or substance use. Our dual diagnosis approach ensures that all aspects of your mental health are addressed in a unified treatment plan.

Preparation & Safety Building

Before EMDR sessions begin, clients develop emotional regulation and coping skills with their therapist. This preparation phase builds a foundation of trust and safety to ensure you feel secure and grounded throughout the therapy process.

EMDR Reprocessing Sessions

Using guided bilateral stimulation, clients revisit specific distressing memories in a controlled and supportive environment. The brain is able to reprocess these memories, reduce emotional charge, and form new, healthier associations.

Integration & Long-Term Growth

As treatment progresses, clients reflect on their healing and integrate new insights into daily life. Our therapists help reinforce positive changes and support you in applying what you’ve learned. Aftercare planning ensures continued progress and long-term emotional resilience.
