EMDR – Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

EMDR is an extensively researched, effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma and other distressing life experiences, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, and panic disorders. EMDR is different from traditional psychotherapy methods. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation and other techniques to allow the brain to resume its natural healing process. Traumatic memories and disturbing life events are reprocessed in the brain to a point where the client is able to remember everything, but the emotional charge associated with the event is reduced. When the emotional charge from past events is reduced, you have more peace and happiness in the present moment.

EMDR is not a “quick fix” necessarily.  I absolutely believe it has faster and more positive results than regular talk therapy. EMDR works with images, memories and even body sensations to get to the root of the problem faster than talk therapy. If my clients have difficulty connecting to EMDR, I gently guide them through the process.  I believe in helping my clients discover their unique way of reprocessing their material, so they can achieve their best results.
