How EMDR works through a screen
Online EMDR works. The research backs it up, and everything that makes it effective in an office holds up just as well through a screen. Sessions look a little different without being in the same room, but not by much.
You might follow a moving dot on your screen with your eyes, tap alternating points on your knees or shoulders, or use audio tones through headphones. We'll figure out what works best for you before we start.
What you'll need
No special equipment. A computer with a camera and a decent internet connection is ideal, but a phone or tablet works too. You'll want a private space where you won't be interrupted, somewhere you can actually focus on what we're doing together.
Who is Online EMDR Therapy For?
Online EMDR tends to help people who are dealing with:
Experiences from the past that still feel present
Beliefs about yourself that haven't budged no matter what you do
Patterns in your relationships or at work keep repeating
Grief or loss that hasn't eased like you'd hoped
Not sure if EMDR is the right approach for what you're dealing with?
