EMDR Therapy

Some memories live in the body, not just the mind. EMDR helps you release what talking can’t always reach.

You’ve tried to move on—but your body won’t let you.

You might feel stuck in patterns that don’t make sense. Triggers show up when you least expect them. Even when life seems calm, your nervous system stays on high alert.

You’re not overreacting. You’re remembering—without meaning to.
That’s what unprocessed trauma can do. EMDR offers a way to help your brain and body finally release it.

What is EMDR?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based trauma therapy that helps your brain reprocess difficult memories so they no longer feel overwhelming.

At Anchored Art Therapy, we integrate EMDR into a creative, client-led experience—never rushed, always safe.

Who is EMDR for?

EMDR can be a powerful option if you’re dealing with:

  • PTSD or childhood trauma

  • Anxiety and panic

  • Grief or loss

  • Chronic stress or burnout

  • Medical trauma or phobias

  • Emotional flashbacks or dissociation

You don’t have to relive everything. You don’t have to talk about every detail.
You just need a safe place to start.

You don’t have to be ready to tell the whole story—you just have to want to feel different.
