EMDR Therapy
A Focused Approach to Processing Trauma and Emotional Healing
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured, research-backed way to help the brain process unresolved experiences—whether they show up as anxiety, emotional triggers, or a feeling of being stuck in the past.
At Sanctuary, EMDR is integrated into a trauma-informed, relational approach. Together, we identify the memories or patterns that still feel activated or unresolved and gently process them in a way that your nervous system can tolerate. We move at your pace, using bilateral stimulation (eye movements, tapping, or sound) to support your brain in making new, adaptive connections.
This isn’t about reliving the past—it’s about creating space in your present.
What to Expect from EMDR Therapy
EMDR May Be a Good Fit for You If:
In our 60-minute EMDR sessions, we focus on one specific target at a time—whether that’s a memory, a belief, or a body sensation that feels charged or stuck. EMDR can support you in moving through the things that talk therapy alone sometimes can’t quite reach.
You can expect:
You can expect:
- A clear, structured session focused on emotional repair
- Gentle, guided processing using EMDR tools
- A steady, attuned pace—always grounded in consent and safety
- A tool that can support relief from patterns tied to anxiety, trauma, or relational pain
- When appropriate, the EMDR process can support a felt sense of resolution or clarity.
- Struggle with emotional flashbacks, looping thoughts, or a sense of being stuck
- Feel like you “know better,” but still react from a triggered place
- Have tried other forms of therapy, but your body still holds the impact
EMDR can be a powerful tool for shifting long-held emotional patterns and offering your nervous system a new experience of safety and resolution. If you're curious about whether it's a fit, we can explore that together.
