EMDR Therapy
You sit with a therapist and follow guided eye movements while recalling a painful memory. That's the basic setup of EMDR. At Dillard Recovery, it's a core part of your treatment plan. It helps you process trauma that keeps feeding addiction and mental health struggles.
How EMDR Therapy Works in Treatment
An EMDR session starts with you and your clinician picking a specific memory to work on. You focus on that memory while following a back and forth motion with your eyes, or tapping. This helps your brain reprocess the memory so it loses its grip.
EMDR can ease trauma, anxiety, and the triggers that pull you back toward using. Painful memories often sit underneath addiction. Reprocessing them takes away some of that pressure.
Licensed clinicians build EMDR into your full treatment plan. As you progress, they adjust the pace and focus to match where you are.
