Our Approach

Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)

At Providence Therapy, we understand the deep impact that trauma can have on your life. To address and heal these wounds, we offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, a highly effective and evidence-based approach to trauma treatment.

What is EMDR Therapy?

EMDR therapy is a specialized form of psychotherapy that was developed by Francine Shapiro in the late 1980s. It has since gained recognition and acceptance as a powerful tool for treating trauma, anxiety, depression, and various other mental health concerns. EMDR is recognized by leading mental health organizations, including the World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Psychiatric Association (APA).

How does EMDR Therapy work?

EMDR therapy incorporates several therapeutic elements to facilitate healing and resolution of traumatic experiences. The main focus is on the reprocessing of distressing memories, thoughts, and sensations associated with traumatic events. Through a series of structured techniques, EMDR helps to activate your brain's natural healing processes by stimulating bilateral brain activity. During an EMDR session, a trained therapist guides you through a series of eye movements, taps, or sounds, while simultaneously recalling the traumatic event. This bilateral stimulation helps to desensitize the emotional and sensory associations linked to the trauma, allowing for a more adaptive integration of the experience.

The Benefits of EMDR Therapy

EMDR therapy offers a range of benefits if you are struggling with trauma and related symptoms.

Some of the key advantages include...

1. Trauma Resolution:

EMDR therapy targets the core components of traumatic memories, allowing them to be processed, resolved, and integrated more effectively.

2. Symptom Reduction:

EMDR can significantly reduce symptoms associated with trauma, such as anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, nightmares, and hyper vigilance.

3. Rapid Results:

EMDR therapy often yields faster results compared to traditional talk therapy, giving you an opportunity for transformation in a shorter period.

4. Long-lasting Effects:

The changes achieved through EMDR therapy are typically long-lasting, providing you with a solid foundation for continued healing and personal growth.

How to clone into other project?

  • Press "Ctrl + E" or "Cmd + E" in the Designer and enable "Select on-page element".

  • Search for the class named, "Cloneable Area".

  • Copy the element inside this container to your own project.

  • Rename the classes accordingly if they are clashing with your project.

  • Ensure custom code from the in-page setting has been copied into your project as well (if there's any).

  • 'Page Trigger' interaction can't be copied directly. You can only clone the whole project, or rebuild it.
    A simple trick to copy the 'Page Trigger' interaction into another project is as below:

    1. Create a dummy element.
    2. Apply any type of 'Element trigger' into the dummy element and select the 'Page Trigger' animation.
    3. Copy the dummy element with the animations applied into your new project.
    4. The animation should have been copied into your project and you can reapply the 'Page Trigger' animation into your project.

  • If you have further inquiry or need assistance, feel free to contact us.

  • Lastly, please do not copy this project and claim it as your own. We wish to continue sharing and giving to the community. In order to do so, we will need your cooperation and full support. Thank you very much,
