EMDR Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapeutic tool that fast tracks healing emotions and thoughts that get trapped from traumatic or overwhelmingly stressful situations. When something happens that overwhelms your brain's capacity to make sense of it, parts of that event or situation don't get processed or released. It creates an affect like a puzzle that hasn't been put together and different pieces can trigger disturbing emotions, thoughts, beliefs, or body sensations. EMDR helps your mind put the puzzle pieces together so it can see the whole picture, release what needs to be released, make sense of the entire situation, and move on from it. Essentially it neutralizes the event or situation so it no longer controls your life. You move from negative thought patterns to positive ones and move from survival mode to truly thriving.
