Somatic EMDR

EMDR is the acronym for Eye Motor Desensitization and Reprocessing. It utilizes bilateral stimulation which activates both hemispheres of the brain; allowing for the processing of emotions, memories, and other traumas stuck in the nervous system. EMDR also targets cognitive limiting beliefs that often arise out of trauma.

​

The Somatic addition to EMDR helps with deeper embodiment while processing trauma. This is interwoven into EMDR sessions through tracking sensations, deepening awareness, gentle movement, and self-regulation. All to help identify the root of the pain and alchemize it into a restoration of safety and agency within.

​

Somatic EMDR allows for a deeper attunement into our innate healing capacity. We begin to listen to the stories of our bodies inside of a structured approach to healing that targets limiting beliefs, emotions, and sensations.
