In the realm of mental health treatment, one name is making waves for its revolutionary
approach to healing trauma: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
therapy. Led by our skilled EMDR therapist, Luna Fumagalli, our practice is proud to offer
this therapy model, and we're here to shed light on its remarkable benefits.
What is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR is an approach of psychotherapy that has been gaining recognition for its profound
impact on treating various psychological conditions, particularly trauma-related disorders.
But what exactly does it entail?
In essence, EMDR works by harnessing the brain's natural ability to process and heal from
traumatic experiences. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR engages both the mind and
body to process traumatic experiences and promote healing.
How Does EMDR Work?
At its core, EMDR therapy involves recalling distressing memories while our EMDR therapist
guides you through bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or taps. This unique
combination of recalling traumatic experiences while experiencing rhythmic sensory input
helps the brain reprocess these memories, ultimately reducing their emotional charge.
Why EMDR?
One of the most compelling aspects of EMDR is its versatility. While initially developed to
treat PTSD, research has shown that EMDR can be effective for a wide range of mental
health issues, including anxiety, depression, and phobias. Moreover, EMDR may be
particularly beneficial for individuals who have not responded to traditional treatments,
offering hope and a fresh perspective on healing.
Evidence-Based
For those seeking reassurance, rest assured that EMDR therapy is grounded in solid
scientific evidence. Numerous studies have demonstrated its effectiveness, with research
consistently showing significant reductions in symptoms following EMDR treatment. If
you're curious to learn more, we've compiled a list of resources below to delve deeper into
the research supporting EMDR therapy:
Accessible Care: Covered by Medicare
