Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a therapeutic approach designed to help individuals process information and heal from traumatic experiences. This technique borrows from the premise of REM sleep, the period of sleep in which you brain activity increases and memories from the day are converted to long term memories. With EMDR, we will use bilateral stimulation (i.e. eye movements like in REM sleep) to activate your problem solving faculties. When focusing on a specific experience, your brain starts to problem solve that topic.

 

Supported by extensive research, EMDR offers innovative and transformative healing in a variety of areas including PTSD and stress-related issues, depression, anxiety, panic, OCD, chronic pain, performance anxiety and attachment healing. EMDR emphasizes the connection between body and mind and taps into your inherent healing potential.
