EMDR Therapy
Heal from Trauma and Reclaim Inner Peace
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a proven, evidence-based method that helps individuals release the emotional impact of trauma. Through guided bilateral stimulation—such as eye movements, sounds, or gentle tapping—EMDR allows the brain to reprocess painful memories, reducing their hold and restoring emotional balance.
At Evolutions Detox Recovery Center, EMDR is a cornerstone of our trauma-informed and dual diagnosis care. We help clients facing trauma, PTSD, anxiety, or substance use rediscover clarity, peace, and resilience through personalized, compassionate therapy.
Understanding EMDR Therapy
EMDR therapy was originally developed for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) but is now used to treat a wide range of mental health conditions. It works by helping the brain reprocess unhealed memories—turning distressing experiences into manageable, less emotionally charged events.
When trauma remains unprocessed, it can continue to trigger anxiety, shame, or self-defeating behaviors. EMDR helps individuals release the emotional intensity of those memories, allowing them to respond to life with greater calm and self-control.
How EMDR Works:
The therapist helps identify a target memory for reprocessing.
While recalling the event, the client engages in bilateral stimulation (eye movements, tapping, or sounds).
This process activates both hemispheres of the brain, similar to REM sleep patterns.
Over time, the memory’s emotional weight decreases, and new, healthier associations replace distressing ones.
The goal is not to forget—but to regain power over the past.
