EMDR Therapy

(Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

​

​

EMDR is a therapeutic intervention that uses bi-lateral stimulation to help the left and the right sides of the brain communicate more effectively. Paired with free association, the brain is able to access the stored memories of traumatic, stressful or disturbing experiences and reprocess the events effectively, thus reducing or eliminating symptoms and distress to the nervous system.
