Frequently Asked Questions

PTSD treatment with EMDR has been more effective than other types of therapy for many patients because it is faster. One of the key benefits of this method is that it does not require prolonged recall of the traumatic incident and assumes no underlying pathology. Most patients want to avoid recalling their traumatic memories, so only engaging with the memory for a short time can make the overall therapy process move along more quickly.
EMDR stands for “Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing,” which refers to the main process behind this technique. Although eye movements have historically been a key component, other stimuli such as auditory cues and tactile sensations can also be used. The purpose is to provide bi-lateral stimulation of the brain. Stimulating the brain in this way, jumpstarts the brain’s natural processing ability.
This method can be effective in helping patients overcome frequent panic attacks, trauma caused by motor vehicle accidents or natural disasters, stress over illnesses and extreme feelings of shame or embarrassment. EMDR can provide relief for a wide range of lingering psychological issues that stem from a difficult experience in one’s past.
Although someone experiencing trauma may seem outwardly fine, there are signs that his or her traumas are causing negative effects. Some of the most common indicators of trouble may include difficulty sleeping, feelings of anxiety or unexplainable emotional swings, sexual dysfunction or compulsive behaviors. Excessive alcohol or drug use also may be another way those suffering from trauma try to avoid their unpleasant memories.
Hypnosis involves putting the patient in a state that resembles sleep, but patients who undergo EMDR trauma therapy are awake and alert throughout the process. EMDR also doesn’t involve the therapist placing suggestions into the patient’s mind — the goal is to help the brain heal as naturally as possible and break unhealthy thought patterns.
Many patients report feeling much better after only a single session. However, every patient is different and may require a few sessions of EMDR counseling before lasting relief can be achieved. This will depend a great deal on the intensity of the trauma being treated.
Many people who undergo EMDR therapy report feeling less stressed after a session. Some say they feel as if they have just had a deep and meaningful conversation that leaves them feeling as if they made a major change in their lives.
In many cases, patients say they feel more relaxed after a session of EMDR therapy for PTSD, and the strength of the traumatic memories they experienced begin to fade. One of the signs that EMDR therapy for anxiety and other mental health issues has taken hold is that thinking about the traumatic incident no longer triggers the extreme emotional reactions that it once did. Choosing the right center to provide this therapy is essential if you want to achieve the best results for yourself or a loved one.

If you or your loved one have a problem with substance abuse that is directly linked to a traumatic event in the past, you are not alone. Our EMDR therapy services can help. Give us a call at (480)-448-2422 or contact us via our website to schedule a consultation with some of the best experts in the field of trauma therapy to help find a life worth living again.
Yes. EMDR may be incorporated into treatment for concerns such as anxiety, distress related to traumatic experiences, and other conditions where difficult experiences or memories contribute to ongoing symptoms. A qualified therapist can determine whether EMDR is appropriate for an individual’s needs.
An EMDR session generally involves discussing treatment goals, identifying experiences or memories to address, and using guided bilateral stimulation while focusing on specific aspects of the experience. The therapist helps the individual remain grounded and work through the material at a manageable pace.
EMDR may be helpful for many people, but it is not necessarily appropriate for everyone or every situation. A mental health professional can evaluate an individual’s circumstances, current symptoms, treatment goals, and readiness before recommending EMDR.
