Eye Movement Desensisitization Reprocessing (EMDR)
Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) is an extensively researched, evidence-based approach for trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, disordered eating & more.
I am trained with a somatic and attachment-based approach which is pivotal for deep healing. This aides many in feeling safer in their bodies & in themselves, in their relationships, and in their lives as a whole.
EMDR helps to take the emotional charge out of past events and develop perspective in a different way than talk therapy as EMDR works to rewrite the storyline around past stored negative experiences. EMDR therapy does not require talking in detail about the distressing issue; instead EMDR uses the brain’s natural processes to heal itself.
The American Psychiatric Association Practice Guideline (2004) has stated that SSRI's, CBT, and EMDR are recommended as first-line treatments for trauma. For many clients, EMDR therapy can be completed in fewer sessions than other traditional psychotherapies.
