Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - EMDR Treatment, Seattle

You may have heard of EMDR. It's a relatively new treatment technique that has been gaining ground both in popularity and in effectiveness. EMDR is a target-based approach. This means that we target one target/symptom at a time until all your symptoms are resolved to your satisfaction.

It can seem a bit odd, when you look at it from the outside or experience it yourself. In EMDR, we sit across from each other and you follow my fingers, as they move back and forth, with your eyes and simply notice what is going on inside you. That's it.

Seems too simple to be effective, doesn't it? But it is effective. There has been a good deal of scientific research done on EMDR in order to establish its effectiveness and the results so far are positive. While it is not a cure-all, it does show amazing effectiveness in symptoms such as:

  • Trauma
  • PTSD
  • Anxiety
  • Excessive grief
  • Sexual assault

And many more. For a more exhaustive list or to simply learn more about EMDR, please visit my EMDR Frequently Asked Questions page.

As always, I would love to answer any questions you may have about EMDR or anything else so please contact me today!
