✨ Study Highlight ✨

This pilot study compares standard psychotherapy and EMDR with pediatric cancer patients in the early phase of cancer treatment, offering valuable preliminary insights into how each approach addresses stress, trauma, and coping.

These early findings help inform future research and clinical practice in trauma-informed pediatric oncology care. 📘💛

✨ Let’s talk bilateral stimulation.

In EMDR therapy, these gentle left–right movements help the brain process and release what it’s been holding onto. 💫

Here are some of the most common types:
👀 Eye Movements – following a light or the clinician’s hand
🤲 Tactile Tapping – alternating vibrations or taps on hands
🎧 Audio Tones – alternating left–right sounds
🦋 Self-Tapping – alternating left–right stimulation, such as the butterfly hug

EMDR isn’t about reliving the past — it’s about helping your brain finally feel safe enough to begin processing. 🌿

EMDR 101: What You Should Know

Trauma doesn’t just live in memories—it lives in the body.
EMDR therapy helps the brain process those stuck, overwhelming experiences so people can move toward healing with more clarity, stability, and confidence.

Here’s what makes EMDR different:

✨ It reprocesses trauma, not erases it.
The goal isn’t to forget the past, but to help the nervous system respond as if the danger is truly over.

✨ It uses bilateral stimulation to support adaptive healing.
Eye movements, taps, or tones activate the brain’s natural ability to integrate difficult memories.

✨ It follows a structured, safe 8-phase model.
Preparation, stabilization, and resourcing come first—long before reprocessing begins.

EMDR is evidence-based. It’s research-supported.
And for many, it’s life-changing.
