We understand the devastating effects of this mental health disorder, and we strive to provide the most effective treatments available. One of these treatments is EMDR therapy, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing.
EMDR therapy is a powerful and effective treatment for PTSD, but there are some important things to understand. Learn more below, then schedule an appointment today.
Reducing the Severity of PTSD Symptoms
EMDR therapy helps to reduce the severity of PTSD symptoms. In many cases, EMDR therapy can reduce the intensity of symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, and anxiety. This can help individuals to move forward with their lives and cope with their PTSD in a healthier way.
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.
