We Thrive Now Offers EMDR Therapy!

We are excited to announce that EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy) is now available at We Thrive! This groundbreaking, evidence-based approach is designed to help individuals heal from trauma, anxiety, PTSD, and other mental health challenges. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation—such as guided eye movements—to help individuals process and heal from distressing memories.

How Does EMDR Work?

EMDR therapy helps individuals reprocess distressing memories by using bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements or tapping. This process allows the brain to reorganize and integrate traumatic experiences in a way that makes them feel less overwhelming. Over time, distressing memories lose their intensity, and negative beliefs about oneself are replaced with healthier, more adaptive thoughts.

Benefits of EMDR Therapy

EMDR has been extensively researched and is recognized by organizations like the American Psychological Association (APA) and the World Health Organization (WHO) as an effective treatment for trauma. Key benefits include:

  • Faster healing from PTSD and trauma – Many individuals experience significant relief in fewer sessions compared to traditional therapy.
  • Reduced anxiety and panic attacks – EMDR can help regulate emotional responses, making it easier to manage anxiety triggers.
  • Improved self-esteem – By replacing negative beliefs with positive ones, clients often develop a healthier self-image.
  • Relief from chronic stress and emotional pain – EMDR helps break the cycle of intrusive thoughts and overwhelming emotions.

Who Can Benefit from EMDR?

While EMDR is widely known for treating PTSD, it is also effective for:

  • Anxiety and panic disorders
  • Depression
  • Phobias
  • Complicated grief
  • Addictions
  • Chronic pain
  • Performance anxiety

Anyone struggling with past traumas or distressing experiences may benefit from EMDR therapy.

What to Expect in an EMDR Session

During an EMDR session, a trained therapist will guide you through bilateral stimulation, such as moving your eyes back and forth, tapping, or listening to alternating sounds. While focusing on distressing memories, your brain will begin to reprocess them, reducing their emotional intensity. Many clients report feeling lighter, more relaxed, and less triggered after just a few sessions.
