What is EMDR?
EMDR was developed by Francine Shapiro, PhD., in the late 1980’s. EMDR is the most researched form of psychotherapy to date regarding post-traumatic stress disorder, and its results have proven to be effective and long lasting. It has also been successfully used to help clients with: addiction, grief and loss, anxiety, fears and phobias, adult and childhood trauma, sexual abuse, disturbing memories, depression, stress reduction, and chronic pain.
How Does EMDR Help to Resolve Problems?
EMDR helps to unlock painful and negative memories and helps the brain to more effectively reprocess old information so that it becomes less debilitating. The use of bilateral stimulation of the brain via eye movements, tappers, and sound allows for a continuation of the normal reprocessing so that images, sounds, thoughts, and feelings can be experienced without undue upset and disorganization.
