Has your life become unmanageable because of PTSD? Have you experienced trauma that has forever changed how you look at yourself, others and the world?

EMDR is a therapy that helps to process and integrate traumatic experiences that have been locked and unprocessed in your nervous system.

It is an 8-phase treatment approach that focuses on resolving past trauma as well as addressing current triggers and developing the skills needed for handling anticipated future events.

It uses bilateral stimulation in the form of eye movements, touch or sound while simultaneously working on the traumatic event and the thoughts, emotions and body sensations related to the event.

Through this process the meaning of the traumatic event is transformed on an emotional, cognitive, and physiological level. As this transformation happens, negative beliefs you have developed about yourself, others, and the world as a result of the traumatic event change. As these beliefs change, your self-esteem and self-confidence will grow and your overall quality of life will improve.

EMDR addresses numerous symptoms of distress from PTSD and related issues such as nightmares, intrusive thoughts/images, flashbacks, etc. This therapy assists in activating your own natural self-healing processes to occur so that the traumatic experiences you had can be processed to an adaptive and effective resolution. This enables you to experience a significant reduction or elimination of symptoms of distress from PTSD and related issues.
