Online EMDR therapy for trauma that still feels current.

EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) helps the brain reprocess memories that got stored as if the danger is still happening. You focus briefly on a memory while following bilateral stimulation, usually eye movements or alternating taps. Over sessions, the memory stays but the charge comes down.

It is one of the most studied trauma therapies, and the research supports it for PTSD. It also works well online.

• Childhood trauma, including growing up with an abusive or narcissistic parent
• Complex PTSD, where the problem is a pattern rather than one event
• Specific memories that still hijack your body: a fight, an accident, a medical event
• People who have talked about it for years and understand it, but still react the same way

With complex trauma, we start with stability. You learn ways to settle your nervous system before we touch anything hard, and you decide what we work on. Nobody gets rushed into the worst memory in week two.

If you have ADHD, I adjust the structure: shorter sets, more check-ins, and a clear plan for what we are doing each session. EMDR often sits alongside other work, such as parts work, attachment work or DBT skills.

EMDR happens inside regular 60-minute therapy sessions, at the same rate as therapy ($180). It is not a separate program. Most people with complex trauma do EMDR over months rather than weeks.
