EMDR Therapy Vienna
EMDR
EMDR is a scientifically recognized method of trauma therapy. It is used to process distressing memories, traumatic experiences, and strong stress reactions.
What is EMDR?
EMDR stands for "Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing." This method was specifically developed to treat traumatic experiences and is now used worldwide. During therapy, the processing of distressing memories is supported by bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements. This allows the brain to reintegrate experiences and often significantly reduce emotional distress.
When EMDR can be helpful
EMDR is frequently used for traumatic experiences, such as after accidents, violence, medical procedures, or other overwhelming events. It can also be helpful for anxiety disorders, distressing memories, or severe stress reactions. Many people report inner restlessness, flashbacks, or persistent tension after such experiences. EMDR can help process these reactions and relieve stress on the nervous system.
How EMDR therapy works
Therapy always begins with a stabilization and preparation phase. Only when sufficient safety has been established are distressing memories carefully addressed. During an EMDR session, the person focuses on a memory while bilateral stimulation is applied simultaneously. This process helps the brain to reprocess the experience and integrate it emotionally.
