How Does EMDR Therapy Work?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) consists of eight phases. The first few phases are planning, preparation, and assessment. During your EMDR therapy sessions, we will take you through phases four through seven, desensitization until closure.

How Does Hypnosis Work?

Human beings are generally in one of three states of consciousness: awake, asleep, or in a hypnagogic/hypnopompic state. The first two states are self-explanatory.

The third is a state that you pass through just before “falling asleep” (hypnagogia) and then the state as you are waking up (hypnopompia), just before you are fully awake. Both phases of sleep are akin to what your subconscious undergoes during hypnotic states.

One can also spontaneously experience a hypnotic state during the day, when your mind wanders or when you daydream. While in a hypnotic state, you’re neither fully conscious nor fully unconscious, but rather somewhere in between. You are not completely unaware of what is going on around you as you are when you are asleep, but your perception is altered. This allows for you to undergo safe, supportive treatment via positive suggestions from a trained therapist.

What Are the Benefits of Hypnosis?

A hypnotic state is similar to a meditative state, though you are less aware of what is going on around you. The sensation is very pleasant, and 15 minutes of relaxation in this state feels like hours of ordinary sleep. Most importantly, in this state, a therapist can access your long-term memory to determine the root of triggered behaviors and emotions that you want to change or control.
