Sometimes, the body and mind hold onto pain long after an event has passed. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy helps your brain reprocess distressing experiences so they no longer feel overwhelming — allowing you to live with more peace and confidence.
At Inner Compass Counseling, our EMDR-trained therapists provide a supportive space for you to heal at your own pace.
What Is EMDR Therapy?
What Is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy originally developed to help people recover from trauma and PTSD.
It’s now widely used for anxiety, depression, grief, phobias, chronic pain, and other issues rooted in unresolved experiences.
Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR helps the brain naturally process painful memories through guided eye movements, tapping, or bilateral stimulation — reducing the emotional charge those memories carry.
How EMDR Works
How EMDR Works
When something traumatic happens, your brain’s normal processing system can become overloaded. EMDR helps “unstick” those memories, allowing your brain to store them properly instead of replaying them as if they’re still happening.
In EMDR sessions, you’ll:
Identify the memories or experiences causing distress.
Learn grounding and calming techniques for safety.
Engage in guided eye movements or tapping while recalling those memories.
Reprocess them with the help of your therapist until they lose their emotional intensity.
The result is a calmer, more balanced response to triggers — and a renewed sense of control over your emotions and body.
Who Can Benefit from EMDR?

✓ Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
✓ Anxiety and panic attacks

What to Expect in an EMDR Session
What to Expect in an EMDR Session
Each EMDR session moves at your pace. Your therapist will begin with stabilization — teaching grounding and relaxation skills before any reprocessing begins.
Once you feel ready, you’ll work together to gently revisit distressing memories while applying bilateral stimulation (eye movements, tapping, or sound).
Over time, those memories lose their emotional “charge,” and you’ll feel more present and resilient in daily life.
