Question about EMDR

I'm so glad you reached out for guidance by asking your question.

You mentioned EMDR. When you start searching for a therapist, you can search for different criteria with that modality being one. I am trained in EMDR and utilize it with many of my clients on BetterHelp. They have all had great success.

It is great that you are aware of the treatment modality that is going to be best for you. This is something you and your counselor will discuss during your intake session. There are several things you could do ahead of time to start preparing. There's a lot of resource building when it comes to utilizing EMDR. One of the big ones is creating a safe space - you can start practicing this by visualizing calm, seeing space in your mind, and utilizing all of your senses. By practicing this activity, it can really help when you start therapy. It is a good resource regardless as well.

One more thing: there's a lot of good YouTube videos to get you acquainted with EMDR and what will happen in sessions.

Again, I am glad you reached out for guidance by asking your question. I wish you the best of luck.

Have a great day!
