What is EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a highly effective, research-backed psychotherapy technique designed to help individuals recover from trauma and other distressing life experiences, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, and panic disorders. At its core, EMDR therapy involves the patient recalling distressing images while receiving one of several types of bilateral sensory input, such as side-to-side eye movements or hand tapping. This process is believed to facilitate the brain’s natural healing mechanisms, allowing the individual to reprocess traumatic information until it no longer disrupts their mental well-being. PDX Recovery embraces EMDR as part of our holistic approach to healing because it aligns with our commitment to providing innovative and personalized care. By integrating EMDR into our therapy options, we offer a pathway towards recovery that is both scientifically validated and deeply respectful of each person’s unique journey through trauma and towards wellness.

How Does EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Help?

At PDX Recovery, we embrace EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) as a powerful therapeutic tool that offers profound benefits for individuals healing from trauma, including trauma related to substance abuse. EMDR utilizes bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements, to assist clients in processing distressing memories and experiences in a safe and structured environment.

By engaging in EMDR sessions, individuals often find relief from the emotional intensity and negative impact of past traumas, allowing them to gradually move towards healing and recovery. This therapeutic approach not only addresses the symptoms of trauma but also helps clients identify and reframe negative beliefs and behaviors that may contribute to addictive patterns. At PDX Recovery, we integrate EMDR into our comprehensive outpatient programs, recognizing its potential to foster lasting emotional resilience and support individuals in achieving sustainable sobriety and overall well-being.
