EMDR Therapy for Anxiety, Panic, and Trauma Responses

Anxiety often has roots in unresolved trauma — even when the original event doesn’t seem “traumatic.”

How Trauma Drives Anxiety

Trauma can cause the nervous system to stay in fight-or-flight mode, leading to:

  • Panic attacks

  • Chronic worry

  • Physical tension

  • Sleep difficulties

How EMDR Helps Anxiety

EMDR addresses the underlying memories driving anxiety, not just the symptoms. As trauma is processed, anxiety often decreases naturally.

EMDR vs Coping Skills Alone

While coping skills help manage anxiety, EMDR helps resolve the source — allowing long-term relief.
