Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences, trauma, or PTSD. EMDR therapy can create a space for people to reprocess traumatic information and memories until it no longer impacts their everyday life. Through treatment, people begin to process memories in ways that lead to a more peaceful resolution.

EMDR helps to stimulate the brain’s own natural ability to process information and to heal itself. Trauma leaves unprocessed memories, feelings, and thoughts, and these can all be more easily metabolized with the use of Bilateral Stimulation (BLS), which speeds up the reprocessing of information, when compared to talk therapy alone. EMDR can also be applied to treatment of anxiety, depression, trust issues, performance related anxiety, and phobias.

Most effective for single incident traumas, phobias, and grief/loss. I was trained under the Laurel Parnell institute for Attachment-Focused EMDR.
