Is EMDR Really Evidence-Based? Absolutely.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is one of the most researched and effective trauma therapies available — recommended by the American Psychological Association and World Health Organization.

It doesn’t erase memories. It helps your brain store them in a way that no longer triggers the same distress.

At Greenwood Counseling Center, all of our therapists are EMDR trained — and it’s one of the most common ways we help clients find relief and stability.

Myth vs. Truth: What Trauma Therapy Really Looks Like

Myth: “Trauma therapy means reliving everything in painful detail.”

Truth: Good trauma therapy helps you build safety first. You’ll learn coping and grounding skills before you ever approach difficult memories — and you’re always in control.

Effective trauma therapies are paced and structured, not overwhelming.

Think Trauma Therapy Means Reliving the Past? Think Again.

There are a lot of myths about trauma therapy — that it means reliving your worst memories, or that it’s only for people with “big” traumas.

The truth? Trauma therapy is about healing safely, at your pace, with the right support.

At Greenwood Counseling Center, we specialize in approaches like EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Trauma-Focused CBT that help you process, not re-experience.

Healing doesn’t mean reliving. It means reprocessing, reframing, and reclaiming.

If seasonal changes often trigger anxiety for you, consider what small routines you can protect.

The back-to-school season does not just affect kids — it can impact the whole family. Adjusting to new routines, earlier mornings, and busier schedules can heighten stress and anxiety for parents as well as students.

If this transition feels overwhelming, remember to give yourself grace. You do not need to have it all figured out at once.

Greenwood Counseling Center is here to support families navigating change. Call us today to learn more.

This advanced training addresses the foundation of using EMDR with children by adapting the standard protocol to fit the specific developmental level of children. Specific techniques for assisting children with expanding and remaining in their window of tolerance will be discussed, with attention given to how shame, idealization, and dissociative parts can be addressed.
