Heal from the past and reconnect with your authentic self

At Soul Works Therapy & Wellness, we understand how certain experiences can stay with you — replaying in your mind, showing up in your body, or influencing how safe and connected you feel.Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy helps you heal from these experiences by reprocessing painful memories so they no longer hold the same emotional charge.

You don’t have to stay stuck in survival mode. EMDR offers a path toward freedom, peace, and wholeness.

What Is EMDR Therapy?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain process and integrate traumatic or distressing memories. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation—such as guided eye movements, tapping, or sounds—to help your brain naturally resolve stored memories that may still feel “unfinished.”

This process allows you to think about difficult experiences without reliving the pain—helping your body and mind find safety in the present moment again.

What EMDR Can Help With

EMDR therapy can be effective for a wide range of concerns, including:

  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

  • Childhood or relational trauma

  • Anxiety and panic attacks

  • Depression and grief

  • Emotional flashbacks and triggers

  • Self-esteem and negative core beliefs

  • Performance anxiety or perfectionism

  • Attachment wounds or abandonment fears

Whether your pain stems from a single event or ongoing life experiences, EMDR helps you reclaim your sense of control and self-trust.

What to Expect During EMDR Therapy

Our EMDR-trained clinicians will walk with you through each phase of the process at a pace that feels safe and supportive. Together, you’ll:

  1. Build safety and grounding skills so you feel stable and prepared.

  2. Identify target memories or themes that continue to affect your emotions and behavior.

  3. Reprocess those experiences using bilateral stimulation to unlock the brain’s natural healing ability.

  4. Integrate insights and growth, helping you develop new beliefs about yourself and your world.

Many clients describe EMDR as deeply healing—allowing them to finally feel peace around experiences that once felt unbearable.
