Traumatic experiences, whether from childbirth, past relationships, or early life, can leave lasting emotional imprints. You may find yourself feeling stuck, triggered, or overwhelmed by memories that seem impossible to move past. At Lisa Greenstein Therapy & Consulting, we use EMDR therapy in NJ and NYC to help clients safely process trauma, reduce emotional distress, and reclaim a sense of calm and control.

​

What Is EMDR Therapy?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based approach designed to help the brain heal from emotional distress caused by traumatic experiences. Rather than talking through trauma repeatedly, EMDR helps you reprocess painful memories in a way that reduces their emotional impact.

​

Through guided bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements, tapping, or sounds, EMDR supports the brain’s natural ability to integrate and release traumatic experiences. The result is a deep sense of relief and emotional balance that lasts.

How EMDR Supports Perinatal & Birth Trauma Recovery

Many new mothers experience trauma related to pregnancy, childbirth, or past losses that resurface during the perinatal period. EMDR therapy can be especially helpful for:

• Processing birth trauma and difficult delivery experiences

• Healing from pregnancy loss, miscarriage, or infertility grief

• Addressing childhood trauma that re-emerges in motherhood

• Reducing anxiety, panic, or intrusive thoughts

• Strengthening emotional resilience and self-compassion

By reprocessing these experiences, EMDR allows you to reconnect with your body, build emotional safety, and move forward with confidence and peace.
