A typical EMDR session lasts between 60 to 90 minutes. The exact duration can vary depending on your needs, the complexity of the issues being addressed, and the stage of EMDR treatment. However, it’s important to note that longer EMDR sessions may not always be fully covered by insurance. Some insurance plans may only cover shorter, standard sessions. For those seeking more in-depth, concentrated work, EMDR intensives are available. These are extended sessions, often lasting several hours or spread over consecutive days, designed to accelerate the healing process. While insurance may not always cover the full cost of these intensive sessions, they offer a focused and effective approach for those dealing with complex trauma or seeking faster results.
Yes, EMDR therapy can be highly effective for individuals struggling with anxiety and depression, even when they’re not directly tied to a specific traumatic event. While EMDR is widely known for treating trauma, it also works to address negative thought patterns, beliefs, and emotions that fuel anxiety and depression. By reprocessing distressing memories or unresolved experiences, EMDR helps reduce the emotional intensity and fosters healthier thinking. This can lead to a significant reduction in anxiety and depression symptoms, even in cases where no clear trauma is present.
During your first EMDR session, you can expect a thorough introduction to the process, aimed at making you feel comfortable and prepared:
The first session is primarily about building trust, setting goals, and preparing you for future EMDR work. It’s a time to ensure you feel supported and understand the process ahead.
EMDR therapy differs from traditional talk therapy in several significant ways:
These distinctions make EMDR a unique and powerful approach for those seeking to address specific traumatic or distressing experiences effectively.
The length of EMDR therapy can vary widely depending on your individual needs, the complexity of the issues you’re facing, and the extent of your trauma or distress. Some people may notice significant improvement after just a few sessions, especially if they are dealing with specific, well-defined events.
However, if you have experienced multiple or more complex traumas, therapy may take several months. Your therapist will work closely with you to create a timeline that fits your healing journey, ensuring you feel supported every step of the way.
