Discover how EMDR therapy is revolutionizing addiction recovery by addressing both trauma and substance use simultaneously. This breakthrough approach helps break the cycle that keeps so many people trapped.

Did you know that up to 75% of people in addiction treatment have experienced trauma? For many, substances become a way to escape painful memories, creating a vicious cycle of trauma and addiction. But there's hope.

Subscribe to get a personalized recovery plan.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy offers a comprehensive solution that heals both trauma and addiction. Initially developed for PTSD, EMDR has been adapted specifically for people whose addiction is fueled by unprocessed trauma.

In this video, you'll learn: 

• How trauma and addiction create a destructive cycle

• The science behind EMDR therapy and bilateral stimulation

• How EMDR targets original trauma, craving triggers, and relapse memories

• Real outcomes: reduced intrusive memories, diminished cravings, and renewed sense of control

Why EMDR Works for Addiction Recovery: EMDR doesn't just treat symptoms—it addresses root causes. By reprocessing traumatic memories while they're activated in working memory, the emotional charge that drives substance use begins to fade. Negative beliefs like "I'm helpless" transform into empowering thoughts like "I am resilient."

At Wish Recovery, we understand that healing happens when we address the whole person, not just the addiction. Our experienced team provides compassionate, evidence-based care that honors your unique journey to recovery.

You don't have to let trauma and addiction define your story. If you or someone you care about is struggling with both addiction and unprocessed trauma, EMDR therapy could be the key to lasting recovery.

Take the first step toward healing today.
