EMDR Therapy in Westlake Village

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

EMDR is an extremely powerful modality that helps people heal from past traumas, allowing them to finally leave the past where it belongs: in the past!

You know that thing that happened in your past? The thing that you can’t even think about without feeling like you’ll fall apart? You try not to think about it, you avoid it in any way possible, but it never quite works.

Nothing has made it go away. Anytime you think about it, you’re overwhelmed with strong emotions and physical sensations. You’re sad, angry, terrified.

Your heart races, it feels like you can’t breathe, your body tingles. The more you try to avoid it, it seems like the worse it gets. It’s seeping into every area of your life.

Happiness seems out of reach. Relationships are rocky. Life is just too much to handle.

You want to heal. You want to be free. You want to find peace.

EMDR is an approach that assists the brain in reprocessing upsetting memories from the past, helping them to get unstuck.

By reprocessing the memories, we help the brain to store the memories more adaptively, which allows you to leave the past behind you. While you will not forget what happened, you will no longer feel as if it is still happening. It will no longer haunt you and plague you in every area of your life.

EMDR can be used for any age! I have received specialized training in adapting the EMDR approach for kids as young as 3. With kids, we will incorporate play, art, and sandtray, in order to meet them at their developmental level, while also allowing them to benefit from the powerful healing effects of EMDR.
