EMDR Therapy in Newport Beach, California
Traumatic experiences affect humans on one of the most basic levels. In a place that undergirds our every moment. There are so many examples of where this can come from, but once trauma occurs, our brains become wired for protection. Self-preservation. Constantly on mental guard, hypervigilant, and aware of the possible dangers.
If you can relate, there is a pretty good chance you have experienced trauma. And it is possible you are looking for any kind of relief.
One possible answer is our EMDR therapy center in Newport Beach.

What Is EMDR?
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a psychotherapy technique initially developed to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The basic principle is that after trauma, our brains are not always able to process the event that brought the trauma on. It’s almost as if your brain needs to flow, but there is a blockage. It is the event, and your brain can’t get around it and doesn’t have the means to unblock it either.
This of course, causes problems. Emotionally and even physically.
And in order to help, an EMDR therapist needs to help you process your past while helping you not get overwhelmed.
But is EMDR invasive?
Straight answer: EMDR can be achieved a trained professional simply waving a finger back and forth.
That’s all that is necessary. Of course, there is more.
What Should I Know Before Trying EDMR Therapy?
First used clinically in 1989, EMDR alters the way your brain stores emotionally distressing memories by leading the patient through a series of side-to-side eye movements while the patient recalls portions of a traumatic experience.
Because the purpose of EDMR is to alter the way that the brain stores memories, patients may experience overly realistic dreams, problems concentrating, and heightened emotions or sensitivity to certain stimuli. Some patients may still experience symptoms during sessions, so it is important to work with your therapist in Orange County to avoid undue stress.
