Session Overview:

During the EMDR Preparation Sessions, we focus on understanding your unique emotional landscape and creating a solid foundation for the upcoming therapeutic journey. Our approach combines assessment, stabilization techniques, and careful planning to ensure your comfort and readiness for the subsequent EMDR processing session.

What to Expect:

Emotional Assessment: We begin by conducting a thorough emotional assessment to gain insight into your current emotional state. This step helps us understand the areas that require attention and sets the groundwork for a tailored therapy plan.

Stabilization Techniques: We recognize the importance of emotional stabilization before delving into the processing phase. Our therapists introduce you to a range of effective stabilization techniques that empower you to manage distress and anxiety, promoting emotional resilience throughout the process.

Target Memory Identification: Together, we identify a specific traumatic memory that you would like to address through EMDR. This memory serves as the focal point for our sessions, allowing us to work collaboratively towards resolution.

Exploration of Beliefs: We delve into the negative and positive beliefs associated with the target memory. This exploration helps us uncover any detrimental thought patterns or self-perceptions that may have arisen due to the traumatic experience.

Preparation for Processing: Preparing for the EMDR processing phase is vital to ensure a smooth and productive therapy experience. We engage in open discussions about your goals, concerns, and expectations, fostering a safe environment for the upcoming sessions.
