EMDR is one of the most effective forms of therapy to heal from trauma, PTSD, and distressing memories and experiences. If you've experienced abuse, childhood trauma, betrayal, sexual assault, or violent incidents and have traumatic memories that you feel like you can't escape, an EMDR therapist can help you reprocess those memories and develop new perspectives that help you move forward with your life.

​

One of the reasons why many clients seek out EMDR is because of how quickly it can work. Studies have shown that some people have no PTSD symptoms in as few as 3 EMDR sessions with lasting effects that go far beyond their sessions. Whether you've been researching EMDR, or you're ready to take the next step towards healing from trauma, we have multiple EMDR therapists in Edmond and Oklahoma City who are ready to help you move beyond trauma and traumatic memories. 

​

What is the success rate of EMDR?

Studies have shown that EMDR has a success rate as high as 90% for trauma and PTSD. While EMDR has been proven to be highly effective, it's also versatile—helping people move forward from negative thoughts, flashbacks, and disturbing memories.

How does EMDR work?

When you start EMDR therapy, we'll discuss the specific issues that are bringing you to therapy, along with your associated symptoms. We'll work together to create goals and help you develop skills to create a roadmap for your success. 

​

After you start EMDR, it's important to recognize that EMDR doesn't erase memories—it helps you detach negative emotions from those memories to help desensitize you from what happened. You'll communicate with your therapist during your sessions, and you're never forced to talk about a traumatic experience in depth if you don't feel ready to. The level of detail you provide is up to you. 

​

After your sessions, we do grounding exercises to help you feel positive and calm, even after reprocessing disturbing events or memories.
