Traumatic experiences can continue to affect a person long after the event has passed. The good news is that there’s hope for those who struggle with trauma! Located in Chubbuck and serving clients throughout Pocatello and Southeast Idaho, Sanctuary Counseling and Psychological Testing offers EMDR therapy to reduce emotional distress. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR focuses on how traumatic experiences are stored in the brain and can provide permanent relief in the face of these haunting memories.
How EMDR Therapy Works
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a specialized therapy designed for PTSD. A trained therapist for EMDR guides clients through a structured process that includes recalling memories while engaging in bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements. This process helps the brain reorganize information in a healthier way, reducing emotional triggers connected to past events. Our therapists provide a safe, supportive environment for EMDR treatment.
Who Can Benefit From EMDR?
EMDR is widely used for PTSD and other trauma-related concerns, but it may also benefit individuals struggling with:
- Generalized and social anxiety
- Panic symptoms
- Depression
- Personality disorders
- Specific phobias
And even certain negative self-beliefs. Sanctuary Counseling provides EMDR therapy for PTSD as part of comprehensive treatment plans tailored to each client. Therapy moves at a pace that feels comfortable, with our clients often reporting reduced emotional distress and a greater sense of control over their lives as treatment progresses.
