An Introduction to EMDR Therapy in Los Angeles
The EMDR therapy program offered at Satori Health helps individuals who suffer from PTSD, as well as other mental health conditions. This evidence-based treatment is a low-cost and non-invasive form of psychotherapy, which can help you address past experiences that have caused emotional distress or psychological turmoil. With EMDR, you can overcome that turmoil and ensure your symptoms no longer disrupt and take control of your life.
UNDERSTANDING
Defining What EMDR is About
What Exactly is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR is an acronym, meaning "eye movement desensitization and reprocessing." At Satori Health, we use this evidence-based treatment at our Los Angeles mental health treatment center, where we offer programs.
With EMDR, you can reprocess negative memories and address them proactively, allowing you to end their hold on you. For example, if you suffered from abuse, you may be blaming yourself for what happened. However, our EMDR treatment specialists can use this therapy to help you reprocess those events, which lets you know the truth and understand how it affected your actions.
During EMDR therapy, your therapist will help you reprocess memories so that you can resolve them peacefully. Furthermore, they allow you to understand and counter how you reacted to that trauma in the past. This process gives you a boost in self-confidence, resolve, and inner peace, which may have been missing in the past, allowing you to adapt the way you process the information. EMDR therapy is effective in addressing PTSD and other conditions related to anxiety and trauma.
Depression
Depression can be overwhelming. Our highly educated, trained psychiatrists provide treatment for those with clinical depression who are in need of a treatment program.
Anxiety

WHY EMDR
Treating the Root Causes
What is EMDR Used to Treat?
EMDR therapy can be used for various mental health disorders for people of all ages. It is commonly used to treat:
- Generalized anxiety disorder
- Social anxiety
- Phobias
- Panic disorder
- Major depressive disorder
- Dissociative identity disorder
- Eating disorders
- OCD
- Personality disorders
- PTSD
- Adjustment disorder
However, EMDR is primarily used to treat post-traumatic stress disorder. It has become one of the most prominent forms of therapy for veterans experiencing PTSD. The World Health Organization and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs have conducted studies and endorse EMDR as an approach to PTSD treatment.
Los Angeles EMDR is different from other forms of talk therapy in that it doesn’t require you to talk through your trauma in great detail. Instead, EMDR in Los Angeles focuses on altering the thoughts and emotions behind the trauma. Doing so helps you heal naturally and move beyond the incident in a much faster time so that you can take back control of your life.

The Satori Health Difference in Treatment
What Happens in an EMDR Therapy Program?
EMDR is more interactive than traditional therapy methods. Your therapist will help you focus on aspects of the traumatic memory as they lead you through a series of side-to-side eye motions. The therapist may trigger the lateral eye movement using a bilateral sound with headphones or a handheld device.
In the session, you'll come face-to-face with many of the most painful memories, allowing you to recognize basic truths about your reality. For example, through this therapy, you can learn that you're still lovable, even if your parents or a spouse abandoned you. If you received a traumatic injury in a car accident, this therapy could help you to feel comfortable driving again. In short, the purpose of an EMDR therapy program is to allow you to confront your fears and other negative feelings, allowing you to resolve them and move forward in life.
Our EMDR therapy program in Sherman Oaks provides a range of benefits. For instance, EMDR is effective in:
However, for EMDR to be effective, you must face painful emotions and memories. While you may be hesitant to do so at first, it is essential to the healing process.
