EMDR 

What is EMDR?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) was originally used to treat PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) caused by trauma, but it works for various concerns.

Emotional stress can impact you physically and mentally. EMDR helps you process and regulate your emotions. EMDR uses both the emotional and the cognitive parts of the brain to help you become desensitized to those stressful thoughts and feelings, allowing you to replace them with positive ones.

The procedures used in EMDR are not hypnosis or voodoo. You will have complete control of your body and mind the entire time.

EMDR is a valuable therapy technique that has proven effective in helping people get past negative feelings and thoughts.

EMDR can help clear your mind.

A long history of trauma steals your energy, making it challenging to get that traumatic event out of your head.

Your body holds in the stress, and your body needs to release it. There’s a connection between your body and your mind, and EMDR helps make that connection as you reprocess those thoughts and experiences that keep you stuck.

When emotions become heightened, thinking clearly and solving problems can be difficult. Without treatment, these problems persist.

It’s hard to walk with a broken leg, and it’s hard to think with a clouded mind. EMDR helps heal your mind so you can think more clearly.

“My mom was dealing with grief over the loss of my dad and other aging-related issues. My mother hesitantly agreed to see Doreen. I believe the bond between them was immediate. Doreen was so compassionate and understanding that my mom felt comfortable confiding in her and now looks forward to each session.” – D.R.

Here’s how I use EMDR with my clients.

While using EMDR, we look at your negative thoughts and beliefs about yourself. We challenge and reduce those negative thoughts. Then, we work to increase and strengthen your positive thoughts and beliefs about yourself and your situation.

The process is emotional. It’s natural and normal to have strong feelings when confronting old problems. EMDR helps you productively deal with these memories and makes them less painful.

Your brain does the work. My job is to give you the structure and steps to guide your healing.

I explain the process to you, so you know what we are doing the entire time. We will talk through any questions you have and work at a pace that is comfortable for you.
