Understanding EMDR
What to Expect
You won't be asked to relive every detail out loud. Instead, we'll use guided eye movements (or other gentle, rhythmic stimulation) while you hold a memory or feeling in mind. Your job isn't to talk it all through — it's to notice what comes up and let your brain do what it does naturally: process and move forward. Sessions are paced to your nervous system, not a script, and you stay in control the whole time.
CBT Resources
CBT — Cognitive Behavioral Therapy — is built on a simple idea: how we think shapes how we feel, and how we feel shapes how we act. Together, we'll identify the thought patterns that keep you stuck, test whether they're actually true, and build more useful ones in their place. It's practical, collaborative, and gives you tools you can use long after sessions end.
