I am a Certified EMDR Therapist who is active in the EMDR community for over 25 years. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) is an effective modality used to decrease negative emotions and triggers within your body that have been associated with past traumatic events. Using bilateral sound, pulse or eye movements that activate both left and right sides of your brain, you are able to replace the negative triggers and feelings with positive, life-affirming thoughts.
EMDR is researched evidence based psychotherapy and used to treat different mental health issues.
“EMDR therapy targets the unprocessed memories that contain the negative emotions, sensations and beliefs. By activating the brain’s information processing system [AIP], the old memories can then be “digested.” Meaning what is useful is learned, what’s useless is discarded.” (Shapiro, 2013, p.6).
If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms listed below, EMDR might be able to help.
Depression, PTSD
Anxiety, Workplace Stress, Relationship problems /Attachment
Grief and Loss
