The Story Behind Virtual EMDR

A first-of-its-kind therapy program born from a simple idea, Virtual EMDR has grown to become the world’s largest provider of EMDR Therapy sessions.

Started in 2014, Virtual EMDR began with one simple belief: everyone struggling with emotional pain should have access to the healing power of EMDR therapy anytime they needed it.

This simple belief came from our founder's personal healing journey with childhood trauma and anxiety. This journey led him accidentally to an unusual-sounding therapy that changed his life —and eventually the lives of tens of thousands of Virtual EMDR clients.

What is EMDR?

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It is a psychotherapy approach designed to help individuals process distressing emotions and memories by using bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements, to promote adaptive information processing.

Is EMDR Only for Trauma?

While EMDR is widely known for treating trauma and PTSD, it can also be beneficial for other conditions that cause emotional distress. This includes: Anxiety, Depression, Grief, Phobia and Fears, Anger, Stress, and Addictions. Millions of people around the world have used EMDR successfully to permanently manage these conditions.

How Effective Is EMDR?

When compared to other methods of therapy (psychoanalysis, cognitive, behavioral, etc), EMDR has been rated as far more effective in scientific studies and by medical practitioners. Clients experience faster healing which is more effective and longer-lasting. In some studies, the effects of EMDR were demonstrated to last for months, even years, after treatment ended.

Are There Any Side Effects of EMDR?

EMDR has been used successfully by millions of people to treat conditions that cause emotional distress, including Trauma, PTSD, Anxiety, and Depression.

While most people find EMDR to be fast-acting and effective, a small number may experience a temporary increase in emotional distress before improvement occurs. These responses are typically short-lived and are part of the healing process.
