Introducing EMDR Therapy at CNV Detox

What is EMDR Therapy?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful psychotherapy approach that has been extensively researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma. EMDR therapy helps individuals process and integrate traumatic memories and negative beliefs, facilitating healing and recovery.

How Does EMDR Work?

EMDR therapy involves the use of bilateral stimulation, typically through eye movements, to help clients process distressing memories. This process allows the brain to reframe negative experiences and reduce the emotional impact of traumatic events. EMDR therapy can bring quick and lasting relief, enabling individuals to move forward with their lives.
