Are you feeling stuck by past experiences or negative thoughts impacting your daily life? EMDR therapy can help!
What is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful and evidence-based therapy approach developed by Dr. Francine Shapiro in the 1990s. While initially used for trauma, EMDR effectively treats a wide range of issues, including:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Phobias
- Addictions
- Negative self-beliefs
- Disturbing memories
Why EMDR Therapy?
EMDR therapy can help you:
- Gain emotional control over past experiences
- Reduce negative thoughts and beliefs about yourself
- Develop healthier coping mechanisms
- Improve your overall well-being
How EMDR Therapy Works:
EMDR is a collaborative process between you and me. It involves revisiting disturbing memories or triggers in a safe and controlled environment. While discussing your experience, you’ll engage in bilateral stimulation techniques like eye movements, tapping, or sounds. These techniques help your brain process and desensitize the emotional charge associated with the memory.
As a certified EMDR practitioner with extensive experience since 2006, I can tailor EMDR therapy to your specific needs. EMDR can be used as:
- Stand-alone therapy
- A complement to other therapy approaches
- Part of an ongoing treatment plan with your referring therapist
