“EMDR quickly opens new windows on reality, allowing people to see solutions within themselves that they never knew were there. And it’s a therapy where the client is very much in charge, which can be particularly meaningful when people are recovering from having their power taken away by abuse and violation.”
Laura S. Brown, Ph.D.
EMDR Institute, Inc. states that Francine Shapiro the creator of the EMDR therapeutic modality “hypothesizes that EMDR therapy facilitates the accessing of the traumatic memory network, so that information processing is enhanced, with new associations forged between the traumatic memory and more adaptive memories or information. These new associations are thought to result in complete information processing, new learning, elimination of emotional distress, and development of cognitive insights.”
As a therapist trained in EMDR, I offer the opportunity to process and shift trauma using bilateral reprocessing. For more information and to set up an appointment, email or call.
