EMDR THERAPY
Through focusing on where stress gets held in the body, as well as on thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, EMDR allows the whole nervous system to repair itself. Clients report experiencing increased safety and peace. People often feel less “triggered” by reminders of the past, and more excited about the future. Originally created in 1987, EMDR is an evidence-based treatment with a long-standing research backing. In addition to trauma and PTSD, it has also been shown to be effective for:
Anxiety, panic attacks, and phobias
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Chronic Illness and medical issues
Depression and bipolar disorders
Grief and loss
Physical pain
Reducing performance anxiety or fear of public speaking
Sleep issues
Substance abuse and addiction
