EMDR- Eye Movement Reprocessing and Desensitization:
EMDR is a highly researched and effective form of therapy for someone struggling with a past traumatic experience. EMDR will help move a scary or traumatic experience from a place of feeling stuck to a place of feeling healed within your mind, body, and soul. Together, we will utilize bilateral stimulation, often eye movements or tapping, to replicate the eye movements of REM sleep. This bilateral movement allows your amazing brain to remove a triggering response from a past experience, thus allowing you to feel healed, calm, and more present in your everyday life.
