EMDR & Trauma: Transformational Healing
Category: Trauma
Experiencing trauma can leave lingering effects — emotional, mental, and even physical.
Topic Of Discussion
Conflict becomes chronic, unresolved, or emotionally destructive, it can erode connection, trust, and intimacy. That’s where couples therapy for conflict resolution can help.
For many, traditional talk therapy helps, yet some memories and responses are deeply stored and need a specialized approach. That’s where EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) comes in. At Tri-Star Counseling in Kingsport, TN, our team has seen how EMDR can facilitate meaningful change and healing for trauma survivors.
We believe in creating a safe, compassionate space where partners can dig into the heart of their struggles — and build new paths forward.

What Is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It’s an evidence-based therapeutic method designed to help the brain process distressing memories so they lose their emotional intensity. Here’s how it works in brief:
- A therapist guides a client through recalling traumatic memories while engaging in bilateral stimulation (e.g., guided eye movements, tapping).
- Over time, the emotional charge of those memories lessens and healthier patterns of thought replace them.
- This approach is particularly useful for trauma, PTSD, anxiety related to past events, and other deeply held emotional wounds.
At Tri-Star Counseling, we provide EMDR as one of our trauma-specialized therapies.
