WHAT IS EMDR?

rewire your trauma

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a holistic method of therapy that transforms how memories are stored, allowing outdated memories to sit in the past and dysfunctional beliefs to be replaced by adaptive ones.

 

EMDR Therapy is used to resolve traumatic memories, such as those related to sexual, physical, & emotional abuse as well as traumatic events such as car accidents, injuries, illnesses, & exposure to violence. EMDR Therapy also can resolve maladaptive self-referencing beliefs (schemas), grief, phobias, panic, substance abuse, addictive patterns of behavior, EMDR Therapy can also be used to enhance performance in sports, stage work, & work. It is effective for adults and children.
