Understanding EMDR
What Is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR therapy is a structured psychotherapy, developed by psychologist Francine Shapiro in the late 1980s, that uses bilateral stimulation such as guided eye movements to help the brain reprocess distressing memories. The World Health Organization recommends EMDR for PTSD. At PSG in Muncie, Indiana, EMDR counseling is provided in person, in weekly sessions or intensives.
Less talking, More processing : You don’t need to describe every detail of a memory out loud.
No homework between sessions : The work happens in session, guided by your therapist.
Led by an EMDRIA Approved Consultant : Our EMDR team’s lead also consults with other clinicians.

What EMDR is used for
EMDR Therapy for Trauma and PTSD
EMDR trauma therapy helps when a painful experience still feels present, even long after it ended. PSG uses EMDR alongside CBT and trauma-focused therapy for these experiences:
Signs a memory is still stuck
What EMDR Therapy Can Target
An EMDR therapist looks for the memories and reactions that keep distress going. Common targets include:
Intrusive memories
Images or thoughts that show up uninvited, often at the worst moments.
Nightmares
Distressing dreams linked to a past experience.
Feeling on edge
Startling easily, scanning for danger, or struggling to relax.
Emotional numbness
Feeling disconnected from others or from your own feelings.
Flashbacks
Moments that feel like the event is happening again.
Nightmares
Distressing dreams linked to a past experience.
Negative self-beliefs
Thoughts such as “It was my fault” or “I’m powerless.”
Body-held distress
Tension, a racing heart, or a tight chest when reminders come up.

Compare approaches
EMDR Therapy vs. Traditional Talk Therapy
Both are forms of psychotherapy, and PSG offers both. The difference is how a distressing memory is worked through:
Attribute | Traditional talk therapy | EMDR therapy at PSG |
|---|---|---|
Format at PSG | Individual psychotherapy | Weekly EMDR sessions or EMDR intensives |
Progress tracking | Discussion of goals and change | SUD and VOC scales each session |
Between sessions | Homework or practice is common | No homework required |
Core tool | Conversation and insight | Bilateral stimulation (eye movements, taps, or tones) |
Talking about the event | Often described in detail | Detail is not required |
Main focus | Thoughts, feelings, and patterns discussed in conversation | How a specific memory is stored and felt |

Making the decision
Is EMDR Therapy Right for You?
EMDR therapy may be a good fit if a past experience still triggers strong reactions, or if talking about it hasn’t brought the relief you hoped for. You don’t need a formal PTSD diagnosis to ask about EMDR.
✔️ Your therapist will check that EMDR suits your history, goals, and current stability before processing begins.
✔️ If EMDR isn’t the best first step, PSG also offers individual psychotherapy, CBT, and trauma-focused therapy.

EMDR Therapy vs. EMDR Consultation
For clients
EMDR Therapy
Therapy for people working through trauma, PTSD, and distressing memories, in weekly sessions or intensives at our Muncie clinic. EMDR helps the brain reprocess painful memories so they feel less intense and lose their hold on daily life. Treatment starts with an intake to understand your history and goals, then moves at a pace that feels safe for you.
VS
For clinicians
EMDR Consultation
As an EMDRIA Approved Consultant, Dr. Eubank provides EMDR consultation to therapists pursuing EMDR credentials, including EMDRIA certification. Consultation supports clinicians as they apply EMDR with real cases, strengthen their skills, and meet credentialing requirements.
For clients, that means care led by an EMDR therapist in Indiana whom other EMDR clinicians turn to for guidance.

What is EMDR therapy?
EMDR therapy is a structured psychotherapy that uses bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements, to help the brain reprocess traumatic or distressing memories so they feel less intense.
Is EMDR therapy dangerous?
EMDR is considered safe when provided by a trained, licensed therapist. Processing can bring up difficult feelings, which is why preparation and pacing come first.
Does EMDR therapy have side effects?
Some people notice vivid dreams, stronger emotions, or tiredness after sessions. These effects are usually temporary, and your therapist teaches skills to manage them.
Is EMDR therapy the same as an EMDR intensive?
Intensives use the same EMDR method in longer, focused blocks. Weekly EMDR therapy spreads the work over regular sessions.
What does EMDR stand for?
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, a psychotherapy developed by psychologist Francine Shapiro.
Is EMDR therapy evidence-based?
Yes. EMDR is recommended for PTSD by the World Health Organization and by U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense clinical guidelines.
How do I find an EMDR therapist near me?

Can EMDR therapy be done online?
PSG offers telehealth sessions. Ask our team whether online EMDR is a good fit for you.
What if I need help right now?
If you are in crisis or thinking about suicide, call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. In an emergency, call 911.
How does EMDR work?
While you briefly focus on a memory, short sets of eye movements, taps, or tones help your brain process it more fully. Over time, the memory tends to lose its emotional charge.
