EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing
Sometimes, when hard or overwhelming things happen, our brains don’t fully process the experience. This can leave us feeling stuck, triggered, or weighed down by memories and emotions.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a gentle therapy that helps your brain finish that healing process. Using simple techniques like eye movements, tapping, or sounds, EMDR helps you reprocess memories so they no longer feel as intense.
Many people find that EMDR brings relief more quickly than talk therapy alone. It can help with trauma, anxiety, grief, and other struggles—creating space for calm, confidence, and a stronger sense of self.
At Hopeful Waters Wellness, EMDR is offered in a supportive, safe environment to help you move forward with more ease and hope. EMDR Healing Journeys where someone comes for a session for multiple hours at one time can sometimes bring relief and healing quicker.
Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.
-Desmond Tutu
