Healing the Mind After Physical Trauma: How EMDR Therapy Can Help
Your body has healed, but your mind is still struggling. Medical trauma affects countless people recovering from injury, illness, or surgery. You might experience anxiety, intrusive memories, or avoidance of medical settings even after your physical recovery is complete. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy offers an effective, research-backed approach to healing the psychological impact of physical trauma. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR doesn't require detailed descriptions of traumatic events. Most people complete treatment in about three months, with many noticing improvements after just a few sessions. This evidence-based therapy is recognized by the American Psychiatric Association, World Health Organization, and Department of Defense. If you're ready to address both the physical and emotional sides of recovery, EMDR therapy can help you feel safe in your body again.
