Trauma & EMDR Therapy

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy. 

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing has been proven to be effective at treating issues stemming from traumatic events, anxiety, depression,  panic attacks, and more. 

During trauma our brain processes and stores memories incorrectly. This incorrect storage can lead to past memories feeling very present. Related or unrelated stimuli in the present can lead to clients reacting as they did at the time of trauma. The brain feels if the past disturbing event is happening currently.

EMDR therapy corrects this mis-storage so that the painful memories associated with the trauma lose their charge.The client can react to stimuli in the present without the past interfering.
