How can EMDR help? Our Lancaster EMDR Team is Here to Answer!
We appreciate this question. Our Lancaster Client Care Team receives dozens of calls each month about the benefits of EMDR therapy and how it works to help you make positive changes in your life. Whether you attend EMDR virtually or in person, both are evidence-based practices to help you move past challenges in your life. You can read a wealth of knowledge of the specific issue you may be struggling with at emdria.org. Whether you’re struggling with a phobia, anxiety, hypervigilance, inability to sleep, reconnecting after an affair, and more - EMDR can help.
How does the process begin? Your first EMDR counseling session will simply begin by getting to know your therapist and sharing your goals with them.
EMDR is Comprised of Eight Phases. Each phase helps walk you through another step to clear a trauma. Before you jump into reprocessing or any difficult trauma, your therapist provides many skills to help you feel calm. The traumas are mapped out in your treatment plan and addressed in an order that you are comfortable with (typically beginning with the first memories in your life).
EMDR has a three prong approach. The three prongs start by identifying what happened in your past, then you reprocess and clear any memories of the situation in the present, and finally you walk forward a hypothetical event in the future to ensure that you’ve processed the memory.
Meet Laura Morse - EMDR Certified Therapist; Lancaster, PA & Virtually in Maryland
Morse empowers her clients to consider EMDR as a modality to help them achieve their goals. Once she’s collected their goals, she begins taking core schemas (or simply put: cognitions they’ve internalized throughout their lives. Typically, many of these can be internalized when clients are very young: as early as childhood or teenage years.
