Traumatic experiences, both recent and remote, can leave you emotionally wounded and paralyzed. Flashbacks of past events, nightmares, ongoing anxiety, and powerful unconscious fears can keep you stuck in the same patterns and can prevent you from achieving your dreams. It is often difficult to resolve traumatic events so that they no longer have any power over you in the present.
EMDR is a highly effective, scientifically proven technique that is specifically designed to rapidly resolve deep seated traumatic issues. Rather than just simply focusing on changing your thoughts, it addresses the root cause of traumatic psychological injuries, often bringing a sense of empowerment and peace in a relatively short period of time. The traumatic events become simply memories from the past that no longer have any power over your present life. Often, an understanding of how the traumatic events fit in with the larger picture of your life will become clear and a new way of seeing the world will emerge.
I have been using EMDR in my practice for over 18 years and have found it to be a powerful and effective tool for healing many different types of trauma.
