EMDR Therapy
What is it?
If you are feeling haunted by the past, EMDR may be able to help unlock these memories and free you from the pain they cause. EMDR has the ability to rapidly take the “sting” out of painful memories. Many distressing memories contain sensory content such as sights, sounds, smells, taste, or other body based sensations that can be overwhelming to remember. Many people experience trauma related triggers which affect their enjoyment of relationships, work, and even hobbies they used to love. EMDR can help you re-align.
Get your fire back.
Share your gifts and purpose with the world.
Reclaim who you really are.
Enjoy your relationships again.
Stop being held back from the past. ‘
Learn More About EMDR
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. EMDR utilizes rapid eye movements and bilateral awareness to resolve trauma related symptoms caused by traumatic or disturbing memories. This means that reminders of the past and associated triggers will no longer cause flashbacks, panic, or significant distress.
EMDR also reduces negative beliefs that you hold about yourself, increases your positive beliefs, and increases your confidence to handle stressful situations in the future. EMDR can be tailored to fit your needs.
