About EMDR therapy.
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and is an evidence-based form of psychotherapy. It a type of trauma treatment that helps you process difficult experiences like, traumatic events, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
During EMDR sessions, eye movements are combined with guided conversation to help access, process, and reframe painful memories and emotions. The goal of EMDR therapy is to support the brain in reprocessing traumatic experiences so they no longer have the same emotional impact on your well-being.

How EMDR works.
Traumatic memories can get stuck in the brain and continue to affect your thoughts and emotions. EMDR therapy helps the brain process these memories so they feel less distressing over time.
Together with your therapist, you identify the memories that need healing. During the session, you follow their fingers with your eyes while thinking about the memory. This helps the brain reprocess what happened in a safe and natural way.
Why matching matters.
For therapy to work, you and your therapist need to click. Without the right connection and trust, it’s easy to lose motivation.
That’s where Meela comes in. Our matching technology is based on research into the therapeutic alliance, helping you find a therapist who truly fits you.

When is EMDR the right treatment?
EMDR therapy is an evidence-based method and considered one of the most effective treatments for trauma related to stress. It’s also proven helpful for a range of other mental health issues, such as:
- Trauma and traumatic experiences
- Anxiety and panic
- Depression
- Phobias
EMDR vs other trauma treatments.
EMDR therapy is a faster and gentler method compared to other trauma treatments, such as trauma-focused CBT (TF-CBT).
Instead of talking in detail about the traumatic experience, EMDR helps the brain process trauma memories using eye movements and other bilateral stimulation. This reduces the intense emotions linked to the trauma without having to relive the memory.
