EMDR Therapy

EMDR or Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing is a ground-breaking therapy approach used in the treatment of trauma. This extensively researched and proven therapy has helped millions release painful memories, beliefs or experiences. When the brain's natural healing process is activated, EMDR can heal many issues that have been difficult to treat in the past. 

By using bilateral stimulation, the brain is activated and allows the release of painful experiences that may be "trapped" in the brain. When the painful experience or belief is unlocked, the two hemispheres of the brain can communicate with each other. Pairing bilateral stimulation and the identified targets, the negative experiences are desensitized, or, less painful. The negative experience is then reprocessed, allowing for new meaning to be attached to the experience. 

EMDR benefits those who have experienced any kind of trauma experience, including but not limited to, physical, emotional or sexual abuse, grief and loss, crime, car accidents, or natural disasters. Research has shown that it is proven to be one of the most effective methods of healing PTSD.
