What Happens After an EMDR Session?
Everyone responds differently to EMDR, and your experience may vary from session to session. Some people feel tired or emotionally drained afterward, while others feel lighter or more energized. Your sleep may be deeper than usual—or you may notice some difficulty settling down for the night.
You might also experience mild physical or emotional shifts, such as headaches, nausea, increased clarity, or a general sense of lightness. These sensations are typically normal and may last anywhere from a few hours to about a week.
It’s important to pay attention to any changes you notice so we can discuss them in your next session. And if anything feels too intense or unsettling in the meantime, please contact me right away so we can address it together.
