This is a personalized, evidence based therapeutic intervention designed to empower you with lasting, transformative change, to help you gain renewed hope and resilience.
What happens in an EMDR session?
During a typical 60- or 90-minute EMDR session, Faren creates a safe, supportive space for healing, always beginning with a check-in and assessment to evaluate progress from previous sessions.
When the client is ready, Faren introduces the EMDR process by gently guiding the client to a specific trigger—whether it’s a traumatic memory, recurring thought, or imagination—using question-answer exercises tailored to the client’s preference. The client may feel “triggered” in their body during this time, which is an intentional part of the process.
With specialized software, Faren directs the client’s eye movements to follow a ball that moves side to side or diagonally, in order to activate the brain’s natural healing process and help the client get to closure. The session concludes with a final grounding technique or somatic exercise to ensure that the client leaves feeling balanced.
EMDR can bring noticeable improvements in as few as 1-3 sessions, depending on the complexity of the case. Its effectiveness often increases as the brain processes and integrates past experiences.

Questions

Yes—EMDR is for Christians. As a devoted Christian who upholds Biblical principles and shuns new-age practices, Faren has done her research, used EMDR in her own life, and wholeheartedly recommends it as a practical, time-efficient, therapeutic intervention that is best conducted for Christian clients in God’s presence and with His Spirit’s guidance.
Faren likens the process of EMDR to embarking on a transformative adventure—climbing mountains, traversing deserts, and exploring oceans—where new, uplifting experiences help distance you from past pain. Much like reaching a mountaintop after a challenging hike and beholding a vast, clear horizon, the gentle eye movements in EMDR allow you to gain perspective, reconnect with the present, and embrace healing. It’s not a substitute for prayer or your personal relationship with God, but a structured, supportive tool that works hand in hand with your faith, helping you let go of your struggles and step into a renewed future.

Before your session, it's important to consider your device choice. While bi-lateral audio can enhance EMDR, it's not essential for its effectiveness, which primarily relies on eye movements. Similar to tapping, bi-lateral audio serves as an additional stimulus that can aid the process.
If you opt for bi-lateral audio, you'll need wired headphones to experience the full effect. This setup typically works best with laptops or desktops. Some newer phones may support the bi-lateral audio with wired headphones, however, many modern devices no longer offer this option.
Alternatively, you can choose to have silence or listen to nature-based or instrumental background music during your EMDR session (included in the software). Tapping is also optional and can be done on various surfaces like knees, desks, shoulders, or the ground.
For those preferring to use the speakers of their laptop or cellphone for bi-lateral audio, newer devices (less than 5 years old) may support this functionality, but it's not guaranteed.

While there are many differences and similarities to discuss, Faren’s main perspective is that EMDR is simply quicker and more targeted to trauma and pain, and is one single intervention, whereas psychotherapy often utilizes many interventions. EMDR is an effective tool or intervention that intelligently helps people who are long-ready to get to closure. It is great for people who are serious about feeling different, letting go, and who have already tried to do so in some ways, but are still struggling.
