EMDR
TRAUMA HEALING THERAPY
Reprocessing Painful Memories
The word “trauma”, derived from 17th Century Greece, is translated as “wound”. Many people have experienced some level of trauma big & small, acute and chronic during their lives and EMDR (Eye movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy) can heal those wounds.

The Eye Movement was created as a means to bi-laterally stimulate the brain. Not a traditional talk therapy, clients do not have to tell their stories over and over again. Clients are asked for a brief outline, with an exploration of Negative Beliefs attached to the event, and reprocessing can begin. The unique and holistic process affects the whole brain, activating thoughts, emotions, and somatic reactions simultaneously. Bi-lateral brain stimulation then reprocesses memories and desensitize the negative triggers and effects from those memories. Negative beliefs transform into positive beliefs. The wounds start to heal. Empowerment begins.
