What is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a type of therapy that helps people resolve emotionally charged memories or beliefs about themselves. It uses eye movements or other bilateral stimulation (i.e. tapping or sounds) to facilitate the brain’s ability to resolve these concerns.
How EMDR Therapy in Charlotte, NC addresses anxiety and trauma
Unresolved trauma can present as anxiety (i.e. overthinking, hypervigilance, tension in the body, heightened emotions). It can also manifest as perfectionism or the need to always be in control. The reason is that somewhere along your lifespan, your brain adapted to the trauma by learning perfectionism and control would keep you safe. This may have worked for a time but has now become maladaptive. EMDR therapy aims to bring your brain “up to date” by introducing more adaptive beliefs. For example, learning to find safety and security without perfectionism or the need to always be in control.
Common misconceptions about EMDR Therapy in Charlotte, NC
One of the common misconceptions about EMDR therapy is that it is hypnosis. The fact is that EMDR therapy is not hypnosis. You are completely aware and in control during your EMDR therapy sessions. You are also able to stop at any time.

EMDR therapy online is as effective as EMDR therapy sessions done in person. Some people prefer online therapy because it eliminates the inconvenience of commuting to and from their therapist’s office. Clients who have a tight schedule enjoy this option as well.
