Help Reduce Triggers


Triggers are situations or experiences that can cause a person to experience a flashback or panic attack. EMDR therapy can help to reduce the severity of these triggers, making it easier for the individual to cope with their PTSD.

Improve Communication Skills


PTSD can cause individuals to have difficulty communicating, especially when it comes to discussing traumatic events. EMDR therapy can help to improve communication skills, making it easier for the individual to express their feelings and experiences in a healthy way.

Increased Overall Wellbeing


The effects of EMDR therapy can help to reduce the symptoms of PTSD, but it can also help to improve overall well-being. This means feeling better in general, having improved sleep, and being able to enjoy life more fully.
