Common questions
Honest answers.
How does EMDR work?
You identify a target memory or feeling. The therapist guides bilateral stimulation while you hold the memory. Over multiple sessions, the brain reprocesses so the memory stops being so loaded.
How many sessions does EMDR take?
Single-incident trauma can resolve in 6 to 12 sessions. Complex trauma takes longer and is paced based on what you can tolerate.
