EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a highly researched therapy that only clinicians with specialized training can provide.  EMDR is delivered in a structured manner where focus is put on a specific trauma memory (otherwise known as a target) while bilateral stimulation is occurring at the same time.  Bilateral stimulation was originally delivered most commonly in the form of rapid eye movements, but as research has progressed, we know now that bilateral stimulation can be delivered in a variety of ways, including tapping, buzzers, auditory tones, light bars and more.

EMDR was originally used to treat PTSD in war veterans and since its inception in the 1980’s, has expanded to be much more accessible and an effective modality for reprocessing all different types of traumas.
