His strength-based, mind-body-spirit approach to mental health will also allow you to explore and reach your fullest potential.
What is EMDR?
The core of EMDR treatment involves activating components of the traumatic memory or disturbing life event and pairing those components with alternating bilateral or dual attention stimulation. This process appears to facilitate the resumption of normal information processing and integration. This treatment approach can result in the alleviation of presenting symptoms, diminution of distress from the memory, improved view of the self, relief from bodily disturbance, and resolution of present and future anticipated triggers. You will spend less time in therapy and begin to feel relief rapidly. EMDR treatment requires fewer sessions than traditional talk therapy to complete.
