What is EMDR?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy has been proven effective, not only for trauma treatment, but can also treat other symptoms and distressing elements of your life. EMDR is also helpful in targeting issues you may be "stuck" on in talk therapy. EMDR has been proven to help people recover from trauma and distressful life experiences. Deeply embedded past memories can often underly your present symptoms of depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and relational difficulties
"When a disturbing event occurs, it can get locked in the brain with the original picture, sounds, thoughts, feelings, and body sensations. EMDR procedures seem to stimulate the information and allow the brain to reprocess the experience. That may be what is happening in REM or dream sleep. The eye movements help reprocess the memory and other associated experiences. It is your own brain that will be doing the healing, and you are the one in control."- EMDRIA

… and for some of us, these stories are filled with traumatic events that were outside of our control. Moments that we wish we could forget, but instead, they live rent-free in our brains for years.
But, what if I told you that your brain has the natural ability to heal?
What if I told you that while we cannot change the past, your brain can create a new future for you?
What if I told you that many clients have greatly benefitted from EMDR and no longer feel “charged” from traumatic events in their past?
