What it is
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based psychotherapy commonly used in trauma treatment. It follows a structured, phased protocol that includes preparation, trauma processing, and stabilization.
What it may address
EMDR may be considered for PTSD and other trauma-related difficulties when clinically appropriate.
What to expect
A trained clinician first assesses readiness and develops stabilization skills. Trauma processing is introduced only when clinically appropriate and is paced to the individual.
How CCC uses it
CCC may include EMDR within individualized trauma treatment when assessment indicates that it fits the person’s needs and readiness.
