During EMDR sessions, you'll be guided through a series of eye movements or other bilateral stimulation techniques.

As a result, this process helps rewire your brain's response to traumatic memories, allowing you to process them in a more adaptive way while reducing their emotional charge.

Specifically, EMDR therapy is an eight-phase treatment that guides clients through a structured process designed to identify, process, and reframe traumatic memories.

1. History and Treatment Planning: We'll discuss your background and identify the issues you want to address, creating a personalized treatment plan.

2. Preparation: I'll explain EMDR and teach relaxation techniques to ensure you feel safe and supported.

3. Assessment: We'll pinpoint specific memories contributing to your anxiety, people-pleasing, or perfectionism.

4. Desensitization: Using bilateral stimulation, we'll reduce the emotional intensity of these memories.

5. Installation: We'll reinforce positive beliefs, like shifting the core belief of "I am not enough" into "I am worthy and capable."

6. Body Scan: You'll notice physical sensations to ensure any residual tension is addressed, integrating positive changes.

7. Closure: Each session ends with techniques to help you feel calm and grounded.

8. Reevaluation: We'll assess your progress and address any new issues in subsequent sessions, ensuring lasting changes.
