EMDR

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) is a therapeutic process utilizing eye movements, sound or pulsations to stimulate both hemispheres of the brain. Focusing on a distressful (or positive) experience along with bi-lateral stimulation, brings about changes in the brain that, when completed, brings a person more in a state of balance. The experience of EMDR is uniquely individual: It can be very intense, or relatively mild. Some clients have described the process as putting together fragments of thought and memory into a cohesive whole.

One of the most intriguing things about EMDR therapy is that it can be used to reduce distress as well as increase a sense of well-being. That is why the same technique can be used both for PTSD symptoms brought on by a horrifying traumatic event . . . and also for performance enhancement in the workplace. Although a single distressing incident may resolve in a few sessions with EMDR, if your symptoms are a product of many traumas or an extended period of intense stress such as an abusive childhood, extensive preparation may be necessary. Your emotional safety is essential to this process, and EMDR works best in a trusting and collaborative therapeutic relationship.
