EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful, evidence-based psycho-therapy that enables you to heal from symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences. When an upsetting event is experienced, it can become locked in the nervous system with the original picture, sounds, thoughts, feelings, and body sensations. Your perceptions and behaviors are based upon your past experiences, and this becomes encoded in your memories, affecting your behaviors, emotions, and self-worth even years later. Memory reprocessing through EMDR can help speed up/activate your natural process of healing so you can start feeling more like you again. The right-left brain stimulation reaches into the limbic brain in a way that “talk therapy” alone cannot, calming the reactive survival brain, and creating changes in the brain.
