EMDR Therapy
Trauma has a way of staying loud long after the event is over. EMDR therapy at Skilton Institute helps you or your loved one work through those memories using guided eye movements, so the past loses its grip. It is one of the core methods we build into individual treatment plans.
How EMDR Therapy Works in Treatment
A traumatic memory can stay lodged in the body long after the event is over, showing up as panic, cravings, or sleepless nights. EMDR therapy works to loosen that grip. During a session, a licensed clinician guides you or your loved one through short bursts of side-to-side eye movements while you recall a specific memory. Over time, the memory carries less charge.
At Skilton Institute, EMDR is one part of a wider treatment plan. Your clinician reviews your progress and adjusts the pace, so the work stays steady and never rushed.
