EMDR Therapy - Healing for the Long Term

What is it anyway?

EMDR - formally known as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy - was initially developed to treat trauma. While it is still incredibly effective for traumatic events, it can also be applied to anxiety, depression, eating disorders, substance use, attachment issues, and problematic relationship dynamics. To put it simply, by moving your eyes back and forth while thinking about past experiences, information moves from your emotional brain to your logical brain. This gives you a different outlook, access to different thoughts and behaviors, and a new future.

Have you ever wondered why you react to certain people or situations in certain ways? Have you ever felt resigned that you can’t change because you’ve “been like this” for as long as you can remember? Have you tried different kinds of talk therapy, but you feel like you keep hitting the same wall every time?

EMDR allows you to look at past experiences to fully understand why you respond or behave the way you do right now and opens up new ways of thinking so that change can finally happen. Reach out for a free 15-minute consultation to find out if EMDR could be right for you!
