EMDR

Service Description

"The past is the present" when we have experienced one or multiple traumas that have not been processed. Whenever the trauma becomes activated by a memory in the present moment, we subconsciously superimpose that past traumatic event onto the present moment. We can be left wondering 'why do I react so strongly to certain types of situations?' or 'why does this outcome in my relationships seem to repeat itself?' Because trauma is held in the body as well as the limbic (emotional) area of the brain, we can also relive the trauma thru somatic (physical) ailments or repetitive injuries. EMDR uses the process of bilateral stimulation to unwind the trauma so that your present moment is more accurate and you are able to interact with the present situation from a more empowered and centered self.
