EMDR – Eye Movement Therapy in Helsinki
I offer EMDR therapy within the Hypnocoaching® framework, ensuring you have strong internal resources and supporting change with hypnotherapeutic methods.
The main goal of EMDR is to restore your ability to function in the present by reducing the emotional charge caused by past traumatic or disturbing memories. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation—typically eye movements, but it can also be done with tapping or sound.
Difficult past experiences often carry emotions like fear, anxiety, anger, sadness, shame, guilt, or helplessness. These may lead to ongoing mental or physical difficulties.
EMDR is based on the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model, which suggests that current struggles often stem from past experiences stored in the brain in a maladaptive way.
What EMDR Helps With
EMDR offers a way to process and re-organize disturbing memories, thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations at the same time as bilateral stimulation supports the brain’s natural processing.
Originally found and developed for PTSD, EMDR is now used for a wide range of mind-body tension and stress responses.
The EMDR Process
The treatment includes eight phases, ensuring suitability, mapping difficult events, desensitizing them, and strengthening results.
During sessions, eye movements or other bilateral stimulation help the memory shift toward healthier neurophysiological pathways until it no longer triggers distress.
The EMDR process consists of a minimum of four sessions. Although the method is structured, each session is individually tailored.
You Can Benefit from EMDR If
A past event still triggers strong feelings
Your body reacts intensely to certain sounds, sights, or situations
You struggle to release a negative feeling or feel stuck in the past
A significant event is disrupting your life
You want to strengthen your inner resources
Note: EMDR is a complementary neurophysiological treatment. It is not suitable if you have untreated substance addiction, are in an extremely stressful life situation, or have a tendency toward psychosis.
