What to Expect in EMDR Therapy
Our trained EMDR therapists at Liv Associates will guide you through the process at a pace that feels right for you. Here’s how it typically works:
1. Preparation & Trust Building – We take time to build a supportive relationship and teach grounding techniques so you feel safe.
2. Identifying Target Memories – You and your therapist will identify the memories, images, beliefs, and emotions that are most distressing.
3. Reprocessing with Bilateral Stimulation – Using techniques like eye movements or tapping, we help your brain process the memory in a new, less painful way.
4. Installing Positive Beliefs – As distress decreases, we reinforce healthier, more empowering beliefs.
