When you’re stressed, anxious, or upset, the body may respond in a way that might tell you something isn’t right.

When it feels like the past keeps creeping into the present, EMDR is a type of therapy that can help. EMDR is designed to resolve traumatic/difficult unprocessed memories in the brain allowing the brain to resume to its natural healing process. EMDR therapy helps the brain process these memories. The experience is still remembered, but it no longer feels like it is actually happening in real time anymore. EMDR can be helpful for anxiety/panic, depression, pain, and trauma.
