EMDR Therapy
heal trauma and restore balance
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a specialized therapy—offered by Michelle Payton—to help you heal from trauma and stressful experiences.
This approach uses bilateral stimulation, such as gentle eye movements or tapping, to help your brain naturally process traumatic memories and overcome emotional blocks. EMDR not only lessens the distress tied to your past, but also helps you build resilience and transform negative beliefs, supporting lasting healing and personal growth.
How EMDR Works
EMDR helps your mind process distressing memories and emotions in a safe, guided environment.
Through bilateral stimulation (like guided eye movements), the brain can “unstick” painful experiences, allowing wounds to heal and new insights to develop.
