Reprocess Trauma and Find Relief With EMDR

At The Taproot Counseling & Somatic Wellness Center, we offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)—a highly effective evidence-based therapy for processing trauma. By utilizing bi-lateral stimulation along with recall, imagery, and resourcing techniques, the brain is able to reprocess distressing memories in a safe way, reducing their emotional intensity.

How EMDR Supports Trauma Recovery

  • Reduces Emotional Distress – Helps lessen the impact of painful memories.
  • Enhances Emotional Resilience – Encourages the brain to adopt healthier coping mechanisms.
  • Restores a Sense of Control – Shifts distressing experiences into a more manageable perspective.

The EMDR Process: Step-by-Step

  • History & Preparation – Understanding personal history and identifying key traumatic memories.
  • Assessment – Establishing specific memories to target and defining desired healing outcomes.
  • Bilateral Stimulation – Using guided eye movements, tapping, or sounds to reprocess trauma.
  • Desensitization – Reducing the emotional intensity linked to traumatic memories.
  • Installation – Strengthening positive beliefs to replace negative thought patterns.
  • Body Scan & Closure – Ensuring emotional balance before concluding each session.
  • Reevaluation – Reviewing progress and identifying additional areas for healing.

What to Expect

EMDR is a structured yet flexible therapy tailored to each individual. Many clients report significant emotional relief, increased clarity, and a newfound ability to move forward without trauma weighing them down.
