What is EMDR Therapy?

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy

EMDR is a type of therapy that can help people process difficult or traumatic experiences that may still feel “stuck” in the mind and body.

During EMDR, you will be guided to briefly focus on distressing memories, thoughts, or feelings while engaging in gentle bilateral stimulation, such as following eye movements or alternating taps. This process helps the brain reprocess experiences so they feel less emotionally overwhelming.

EMDR doesn’t erase memories or make you forget what happened. Instead, it can help reduce the emotional intensity connected to these past experiences and support new, healthier ways of understanding what happened.

EMDR can be helpful for trauma, anxiety, distressing memories, negative self-beliefs, and other experiences that continue to impact you.

Anastasia Taskov, RCC, RP (Qualifying). I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy to individuals virtually across Canada and in person here in Kelowna, BC.

My goal is to guide you in developing a deeper understanding of the thought processes and behavioural patterns that may be contributing to you feeling stuck. Our work will be collaborative in uncovering what you need to feel more at ease in your life and relationships.

I work with clients who primarily struggle with people-pleasing, relationship difficulties, trauma, OCD, and anxiety. If this sounds like you, feel free to contact us or book a free 15-minute consultation below.
