EMDR THERAPY
What is EMDR?
EMDR stands for (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).
It is a proven, effective treatment to address trauma, complicated grief, and symptoms of anxiety, depression, phobia and more.
EMDR & Trauma
You feel horrible, but you can’t figure out why. You’ve been to the doctor, had every test under the sun. And there’s nothing physically wrong.
Yet you’re plagued with disturbing thoughts and feelings. They’re getting in the way of living the life you want.
Maybe you’ve even tried therapy before, but it didn’t seem to work.
You’re stuck. You just can’t move on.
Exposure to trauma affects your availability to develop a healthy sense of belonging, self-esteem, confidence, and safety.
Trauma is powerful. It can prevent you from developing healthy skills or ways to handle the matters of daily life.
But there’s another option.
Why EMDR?
EMDR is a powerful intervention to help individuals to quickly overcome the effects of trauma and reconnect with themselves physically and emotionally.
This intervention honors the strong connection between the mind and the body.
My work with many clients suffering from similar symptoms motivated me to learn about the work done by Francine Shapiro (Developer of EMDR) and pursue certification.
Through my training, I learned a different approach to help you overcome the effects of trauma.
How does EMDR work?
EMDR uses sensory stimulation, which could be auditory, visual, or tactile (tapping, light bar).
EMDR generally takes multiple sessions, and I recommend that we allow 1.5 hours to engage in the process.
We’ll use protocols like past memories, present disturbance, and future actions, all the while implementing sensory stimulation.
Can anyone benefit from EMDR?
Not everyone can start working on EMDR right the way. As we work together, we’ll discuss whether we think it’s right for you.
Can I see you to work on EMDR only?
Yes. I often accept client referrals from colleagues who don’t have EMDR certification.
Don’t give up.
EMDR could help you break free from the past and help you develop the confidence you need to live the life you were meant to live.
