EMDR Therapy
EMDR therapy helps you process traumatic memories that keep feeding addiction and mental health symptoms. At Merritt Recovery, it is a core part of many treatment plans. Using guided eye movements, a trained therapist helps you or your loved one work through painful experiences so they lose their grip.
How EMDR Therapy Works in Treatment
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, a structured therapy used to treat trauma that keeps a person stuck. In a session, your clinician guides you to recall a difficult memory while you follow a repeated movement or sound, usually your eyes tracking side to side. This helps the brain file the memory differently, so it loses some of its charge.
For you or your loved one, that often means fewer triggers driving substance use, along with relief from anxiety and depression. Our licensed clinicians fold EMDR into the full treatment plan and adjust the pace as recovery moves forward.
