What does a headache during or after EMDR actually tell you?

Less than you might think.

A mild headache can happen for many everyday reasons, from eye strain and muscle tension to tiredness, hydration, or simply concentrating for a period of time.

That’s why noticing a headache around the time of an EMDR session doesn’t automatically mean EMDR caused it.

It also isn’t a sign that the session worked better, worked less, or that something went wrong.

Our latest Knowledge Base article explains what we know about headaches and EMDR, plus simple steps you can take if one becomes distracting.

Sometimes depression can feel like being stuck in the same thoughts, beliefs, and emotional patterns over and over again.

Painful memories, negative beliefs about yourself, and emotional triggers can all play a role in keeping those patterns going.

EMDR is one way of working with the experiences underneath that distress rather than focusing only on the thoughts themselves. Research on EMDR for depression is promising, although more long-term research is still needed.

If you’re curious about how self-guided EMDR can be used to work on memories, triggers, and negative beliefs connected to depression, this explains the approach:

When is it better to wait before doing EMDR?

You don’t have to feel completely calm or “ready” in a perfect way before a session. Feeling nervous, emotional, or unsure can be part of the process.

But there are times when pausing may be the better choice—like when you’re in an immediate crisis, struggling to stay present, under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or simply feeling that today isn’t the right day to work on something difficult.

Waiting doesn’t mean EMDR isn’t right for you. Sometimes it just means choosing a better time.

What may be contributing to your stress?

Stress is a normal response to pressure, demands, or challenging situations. In short bursts, it can even help you stay focused, react quickly, or get things done.

But when stress feels constant or overwhelming, it can start affecting your mood, sleep, concentration, and physical wellbeing.

Ongoing situations, emotional triggers, and negative thoughts or beliefs may all contribute to how stress shows up for you.

Anxiety can make you feel like something is always about to go wrong — even when there’s no clear reason why.

For some people, those feelings are connected to past experiences, emotional triggers, negative beliefs, or worries about what might happen next.

Working on those underlying experiences may help anxious thoughts and situations feel more manageable over time.

Here’s a simple look at how Virtual EMDR can support anxiety:

Can childhood experiences still affect you years later?

For some people, experiences from childhood can continue to influence emotions, reactions, beliefs, and the way certain situations feel in the present.

Recognizing these connections can help make sense of patterns that may otherwise be difficult to understand.

Yawning during EMDR? It can be completely normal.

During an EMDR session, you might notice yourself yawning, sighing, stretching, or simply beginning to feel more relaxed.

Some people yawn several times, while others may not yawn at all. Everyone experiences EMDR differently, and yawning may simply be related to tiredness, concentration, relaxation, or another ordinary physical response.

If it happens, there’s no need to overthink it. Let the yawn happen naturally and continue when you feel comfortable.

Talking about what happened can help so much. It helps us make sense of things, notice patterns, and put words to what we're feeling.

But trauma doesn't just live in our thoughts. It can affect the nervous system too. That's part of why simply talking things through isn't always enough on its own. Processing distressing memories and experiences can be just as important for moving forward.

That's what we're working on at Virtual EMDR: making this kind of processing more accessible through a self-guided approach that works alongside therapy and professional care, not in place of it.

Why Does Anger Sometimes Feel Bigger Than the Moment?

Sometimes anger isn’t only about what’s happening right now.

Certain situations can connect with painful past experiences, emotional triggers, or negative beliefs that make the moment feel especially intense.

That’s why it can be useful to look beyond the anger itself and ask: What is actually driving this reaction?

EMDR may be particularly relevant when anger is connected to trauma or other difficult past experiences. Virtual EMDR offers structured, self-guided Anger Protocols for working with experiences and memories connected to anger, situations that trigger strong emotional reactions, and thoughts or beliefs that may intensify anger.

The Anger Protocols also include preparing for future situations that may trigger anger.

Can EMDR make you tired?

Everyone responds to EMDR a little differently. Some people may feel mildly tired after a session, while others feel calm, energized, or simply like themselves.

If tiredness does happen, it is often mild and temporary. Your response can also vary from one session to the next.

Curious about why this happens and what you can expect after a session?
