The science behind the shift

You do not need to talk about trauma aloud to help your brain heal from it.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a WHO-endorsed approach that uses bilateral stimulation — like gentle tapping — to help your brain process overwhelming experiences. Unlike talk therapy, EMDR works directly with the non-verbal parts of the brain where trauma is stored.

Think of it as a guided journey through your memories, helping you sort and organize stressful experiences so they no longer disrupt your present life.

This is your time. Your space. Your transformation.

Let Shift Change meet you where you are—one tap at a time.

  • We guide you through the reprocessing in a non-verbal way. All you have to do is show up and be ready to put the weight down.

  • We guide them through a relaxation and breathing first. Then we guide them through the process then we begin. We guide this part. You'll learn how to calm your nervous system and stay present, so you're in control every step of the way.

  • When you're ready, we'll begin short rounds of bilateral stimulation (we only use bilateral tapping in our online sessions) while gently holding a target memory or emotion.

  • You don't have to talk at all. Just notice what comes up and write it down in your notes. Your brain naturally begins reprocessing through bilateral stimulation, like it’s finally processing and making sense of an unresolved chapter.

  • Every session ends with a return to calm, so you leave feeling stable and supported. The goal is to reach a 0-3/ 10 by the end of each session.

Why the Shift Method works differently

We know that safety is the foundation of healing. Every EMDR session is structured to protect your nervous system and not overwhelm it.

One of the most powerful things about EMDR is that it doesn’t require you to retell your story out loud. You can process memories internally, while still experiencing the full benefits of reprocessing and nervous system regulation.

In our sessions, you will not see anyone else in the virtual space. Your camera is required to stay on for the therapist only. As we guide you, you learn how to finally let go.
