What to Expect When Beginning EMDR Therapy

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an effective treatment process for trauma recovery, helping individuals process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity. We implement EMDR therapy as part of our comprehensive treatment programs to assist individuals dealing with PTSD, anxiety, depression, and other trauma-related conditions. For those new to EMDR, understanding what to expect can ease some of the uncertainty surrounding this unique therapeutic approach.


Initial Consultation and Assessment


The first step in beginning EMDR therapy is an initial consultation and assessment. During this process, the psychologist will gather information about the individual’s history, current symptoms, and specific trauma experiences. This is applied to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses the individual's unique needs. The therapist will also explain how EMDR works and answer any questions, providing clarity and reassurance about what to expect. 


It’s important to note that EMDR therapy can be emotionally intense, especially in the early stages. However, the therapist is trained to guide individuals through these emotions at a manageable pace, ensuring their well-being throughout the journey. As each stage progresses, individuals often find that their distress related to traumatic memories begin to decrease, leading to greater emotional freedom and resilience.


Based in Woodland Hills and Los Angeles, we guide individuals through each stage of EMDR with care, ensuring that the process is supportive and effective. By reducing the emotional impact of trauma, EMDR helps individuals move toward healing and reclaiming their lives.
