Heal & Feel Better With EMDR in the San Francisco Bay Area
EMDR Therapy helps you reprocess negative memories and thinking by taking the emotional charge out of the experience.
What is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) is a specialized type of therapy that is focused on breaking down negative thoughts and beliefs we have about ourselves. As well as the bad feelings we can’t shake, that stem from traumatic or disturbing events.
EMDR therapy taps into your brain's natural ability to heal, to help bring faster relief so you can finally feel better.
How EMDR Therapy Works
When we go through something traumatic or disturbing, our brain often stores the memory of the stressful incident in an unhelpful way. Thus impacting our everyday lives.
Our brain stores images, body sensations, emotions, and thoughts about ourselves. Often times we don’t even realize it. However we can see the effects in our stress responses, self-esteem, fear, anxiety, depression, etc.
An EMDR therapist will use a particular protocol and unique techniques to help reprocess memories that are likely connected to your negative symptoms.
Because more parts of the brain are being activated in EMDR, many clients at Empowered Mind Therapy Center have found it much more effective than traditional talk therapy.

Empowered Mind Therapy Center in Walnut Creek, CA will work with your therapist to meet your needs. EMDR sessions in addition to talk therapy will maximize positive outcomes.
IS EMDR THERAPY RIGHT FOR ME?
EMDR is pretty different than traditional talk therapy. Because there involves a specific protocol and type of questions we will ask. It also involves using special tools to get the different parts of your brain activated.
You won’t have to tell your EMDR therapist all the details of your trauma if you don’t want to. Because EMDR therapy works directly with your brain natural functions, it has been found to be very effective with healing and relief for many people. EMDR can be done both in person and online.
With any model that fits best for you, an EMDR therapist will help you reprocess the negative memories and thinking. By taking the emotional charge out of the experience of a specific memory.
The newly processed memories then impact you less negatively, feeling a new sense of overcoming how the incident once deeply affected you.
