EMDR Therapy In Halifax
What is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a specialized, evidence-based therapy designed to help people process and heal from traumatic or distressing experiences. It works by using guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation to help the brain reprocess difficult memories in a safe, structured way. EMDR can be especially helpful for those feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or triggered by past events—even if those events happened long ago.
What Can EMDR Help With?
EMDR therapy is effective for a wide range of experiences that may feel overwhelming, stuck, or unresolved. At Halifax Counselling and Wellness, we use EMDR to help clients gently reprocess and move through:
Traumatic experiences (recent or past)
Childhood neglect or emotional wounds
Relationship difficulties or attachment issues
Anxiety and panic responses
Grief and loss
Low self-esteem rooted in earlier life experiences
Distressing memories that continue to feel vivid or intrusive
