EMDR is a powerful
psychotherapy procedure which stimulates the brain's information
processing system. Using EMDR, the amount of cognitive (talk)
therapy is substantially reduced while improving both the recovering
and dealing of old, recurring psychological material. People often
achieve therapeutic goals at a faster rate, and with recognizable
changes that remain basically stable over time. I have worked with many people suffering chronic pain, stress, depression and anxiety. EMDR has been very effective in helping reduce symptoms while allowing significant improvement over various emotional and physical functions of the body. This includes the emotional "holding" on to pain following an injury due to the emotional trauma of that injury. Overall, it has been noted that EMDR helps in healing both physical ailments and emotional issues. If you are interested in know more about how EMDR is used in my office, please call me. We will arrange a time for explanation and a demonstration of EMDR. More information may be found at www.emdr.com. |
