contact us today
Dover Psychology offers EMDR Therapy, a specialized treatment modality aimed at addressing trauma, anxiety, and various psychological issues. Through the evidence-based approach of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), our therapists provide comprehensive and effective care to help individuals heal from past traumas and overcome emotional distress.
EMDR Therapy is rooted in the understanding that traumatic experiences can become stuck in the brain's memory networks, leading to persistent symptoms and negative beliefs about oneself and the world. By engaging in targeted bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or tapping, EMDR helps individuals reprocess these distressing memories and integ
rate them into a more adaptive narrative.
Our skilled therapists guide clients through the EMDR process, helping them identify and process traumatic memories while building resilience and coping skills. Through this collaborative approach, individuals can experience profound healing and symptom relief, allowing them to move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and emotional well-being.
In addition to trauma-focused care, EMDR Therapy has been shown to be effective in treating a range of psychological issues, including anxiety, phobias, depression, and grief. By addressing underlying trauma and associated symptoms, individuals can experience significant improvements in their overall mental health and quality of life.
At Dover Psychology, we are committed to providing compassionate and evidence-based care to support individuals on their journey toward healing and recovery. Our EMDR Therapy services offer a safe and supportive environment for clients to explore and process their experiences, ultimately empowering them to live more fulfilling and meaningful lives.
EMDR therapy is a psychotherapeutic approach that enables individuals to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress associated with traumatic experiences. By engaging in bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements, EMDR facilitates the processing of distressing memories, allowing individuals to integrate these experiences in a more adaptive and healing manner.
During EMDR therapy sessions, clients are guided by trained therapists to recall distressing memories while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation, such as following the therapist's finger movements with their eyes. This process facilitates the reprocessing of traumatic memories, leading to reduced emotional distress and symptom relief.
EMDR therapy typically consists of several phases, including history-taking, preparation, assessment, desensitization, installation, body scan, closure, and reevaluation. Each session is tailored to the individual's needs and progress, with the ultimate goal of resolving past trauma and promoting psychological healing.
