EMDR In Utah, Nevada And Idaho
EMDR is eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. It's an evidence-based psychotherapy method that helps individuals process and integrate traumatic memories and distressing life experiences. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements, to activate the brain's natural healing processes, allowing you to reframe negative thoughts and reduce emotional distress. If you're interested in EMDR treatment in St. George, UT, get in touch with the team at Blue Chip Counseling and EMDR today.
How Does EMDR Work?
When EMDR was developed, it was recognized that the brain stores normal and traumatic memories differently. When something traumatic happens, your brain stores it in a way that isn’t fully integrated into the rest of your memories. When traumatic memories are stored like this, if the memory gets triggered, you may feel like you are reliving the event. During EMDR, you'll access those traumatic memories but will combine this with eye movements and guided instructions to reframe how your brain stores a specific memory or trigger. The therapists at Blue Chip Counseling and EMDR provide EMDR therapy at their clinic in St. George, UT. They also provide virtual appointments across Utah, Nevada, and Idaho.
Benefits
EMDR is highly effective in treating PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) and other trauma-related conditions. EMDR can reduce symptoms associated with trauma, such as flashbacks, nightmares, and hypervigilance. This can give you the power to regain control over your life.
For individuals struggling with anxiety and/or depression, EMDR can also be beneficial. It addresses the root causes of these conditions, so it can help alleviate persistent negative thoughts and emotional pain. In these cases, EMDR can lead to improved mental health and well-being.
EMDR can help individuals develop healthier self-beliefs and a stronger sense of self-worth. This kind of therapy can empower you to let go of any limiting beliefs you might have and embrace a more positive and confident outlook on life.
While we provide EMDR sessions in person at our St. George, UT, clinic, EMDR is also available virtually, if you prefer the comfort and convenience of being in your own home.
