Group EMDR supports individuals affected by trauma, including first responders, veterans, survivors of violence, accidents, illness, grief, or anyone feeling stuck after a distressing experience. This evidence-based approach allows participants to heal in a group setting while keeping their experience completely private.

 

It helps the brain process unresolved trauma, reducing emotional and physical distress and restoring balance. Participants complete a brief pre-screening, learn calming skills, and attend three structured 90-minute sessions—without sharing personal stories.

 

Who Is Not a Fit for Group EMDR?

It is not appropriate for individuals who are currently suicidal, actively self-harming, experiencing severe substance abuse, diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder, or unable to self-regulate distress. Individual EMDR remains an option in these cases.
