​What is EMDR Therapy?

(Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing)

​

EMDR is a powerful and holistic approach to healing emotional pain, tension, and trauma at the root. EMDR helps to reprogram your subconscious mind and release the weight of the past so that you can feel lighter, freer, and more at peace in the present. 

​

EMDR helps to: â€‹â€‹

  • Reestablish inner safety and security

  • Create a solid foundation of inner resources

  • Free yourself from the emotional imprints of past experiences

  • Resolve PTSD

  • Cultivate a greater sense of self-worth

  • Restore balance and resilience 

  • Grow real self-compassion and self-love

​

How does EMDR work? 

 

EMDR helps the mind-body heal naturally from traumatic experiences much like how the brain heals during REM sleep. EMDR utilizes bilateral stimulation – through eye movements or tapping – to mimic this natural process and help us reprocess experiences from the past and integrate them in a safe, supportive way that allows us to truly move forward in our lives.

 

Through the process, you will release stuck energy and emotions from your body, and rewire your brain towards a more resilient and present understanding of yourself, others, and the world.

​

EMDR is an extensively researched, effective, trauma-focused psychotherapy proven to help people recover from PTSD symptoms, anxiety, depression, relational trauma, attachment-based wounds, recent traumatic incidents, OCD, chronic pain, and addictions, often in as little as months as opposed to years.​​

Testimonials 

Leah, thank you so much for your presence and kindness in supporting me through a really challenging trigger where I needed trauma support. Your skills as a listener and compassionate presence really helped me heal in such a deep way. I felt completely safe to bring everything that was alive in me to the sessions, and that's because of the container you created. Your softness, patience, and commitment to staying with me through the process meant so much to me.

 

As for tangible results, I can confidently say my nervous system as really settled. I have been able to transform deeply embedded unsupportive beliefs into empowerment and embodiment. I feel I have stepped into a way of being in life that is from choice and creation rather than from my wounded child self. I am so in awe by how in our sessions I would begin with such an intense trigger and repeatedly, session after session, the trigger went to a zero. It was almost unbelievable. But that is what happened. I think you're an amazing EMDR practitioner and human being. I am eternally grateful that our paths have crossed.
