How Remote EMDR Sessions Can Help with PTSD

Updated: Oct 17

Hi, I’m Hannah Rawlings, and I’m really glad you’re here. Today, I’d love to share with you how remote EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing) can be a gentle yet powerful way to help if you’re struggling with PTSD or the lingering effects of trauma. It’s so important to know that you don’t have to face this alone—healing is possible, and you can start right where you are.



Understanding EMDR

EMDR is different from traditional talk therapy. Instead of talking through every detail of your trauma, we focus on processing those memories in a way that feels safe. Using simple techniques like eye movements or tapping, EMDR helps reduce the emotional intensity of painful memories. It doesn’t erase the memory, but it makes it feel less overwhelming, more manageable.


Why Remote EMDR Works

One of the biggest benefits of remote EMDR is that you can do it from the comfort of your own home. Sometimes, being in a familiar, safe space makes it easier to face those difficult memories. There’s no need to travel or worry about sitting in a waiting room—you can be right where you feel most at ease. This sense of safety can really help in making the process feel less daunting.


Comfort, Safety, and Flexibility

Healing from trauma requires trust and a sense of safety, and sometimes the best place to feel that is in your own home. Remote EMDR allows us to work together in a way that feels natural for you. Plus, the flexibility of online sessions means we can schedule at times that fit around your life. Whether you’re juggling work, family, or other commitments, you can still make your mental health a priority.


Real-Life Example:

Let me tell you about Mark, a veteran I worked with who had been carrying the weight of PTSD for years. The flashbacks, nightmares, and anxiety were making it so hard for him to live the life he wanted. Through remote EMDR, Mark was able to revisit those difficult memories in a way that didn’t feel overwhelming. Over time, the flashbacks became less intense, and he started feeling more in control of his emotions and his life again. Seeing his progress was incredibly rewarding.


Healing Can Start Now

Many people notice a sense of relief and positive change after just a few sessions of EMDR. While everyone’s journey is different, the goal is the same: to help you process the trauma and find peace, in a way that feels manageable and safe. You don’t need to carry the weight of those past experiences alone—healing is within reach.


If you’ve been dealing with the aftermath of trauma and are looking for a compassionate way to move forward, remote EMDR might be just what you need. I’m here to support you through it, every step of the way. Let’s take this journey together, at your own pace.
