EMDR Therapy in Brentwood, Tennessee

I am an EMDR Therapist.

Hi! My name is Tina, and I do EMDR in the Brentwood, TN, area. EMDR is a very common therapy technique for more than women; men and children have found great success with EMDR as well.

EMDR is often helpful for those who have experienced a difficult situation. It allows your mind to reprocess the memories of the traumatic event in a safe environment. As an EMDR Therapist in Brentwood, TN, I would guide you through every part of the process.

My approach to EMDR

As an EMDR therapist in Brentwood, TN, I ensure my clients are comfortable and fully understand the process. EMDR therapy is a technique for men, women, and children that uses eye movement to achieve bilateral stimulation. This kind of eye movement resembles rapid eye movement (REM) during sleep.

EMDR therapy helps the brain reprocess memories. As an EMDR therapist in Brentwood, TN, I assist my clients in uncovering the thoughts and beliefs that stem from their traumatic events. This is a mini explanation of how EMDR releases trauma. For more details on EMDR therapy, click here.

EMDR therapy does not involve much talk therapy. At the beginning, a history will be taken that will allow us to make sure we are focusing on the right topic/memory we want to reprocess. We will also create a safe space for you to feel comfortable before and after we reprocess your memories.

EMDR therapy has been proven to be effective in many research studies. Research has also shown that EMDR therapy can help a person work through their trauma faster than just talk therapy.

Your brain stores memories differently. It may store a typical memory differently than it stores a traumatic memory. EMDR therapy allows your brain to reprocess and repair the memory, allowing it not to become triggered as severely as before repairing it. 

Once the brain can repair the memories, you can live a calmer and healthier life. You will be able to live your everyday life and not be as triggered by some of your senses that were overwhelmed by memories of the traumatic event. I am an EMDR therapist in the Brentwood, TN, area, and I am happy to talk with you for a free consultation to find out if EMDR would be a good fit.
