Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR™) is an integrative trauma treatment that helps people heal from traumatic events and life disturbing experiences. When a person experiences trauma or is subjected to chronic traumatic stress, their brain cannot process information as effectively which can have far reaching effects on their daily functioning and relational capacity. The good news is our brains (and therefore, WE) are resilient. With intervention, our brains and our bodies actually want to be healed.
Laura is trained in EMDR through The Maiberger Institute, an EMDRIA approved provider. This particular training incorporated somatic interventions and tools, resourcing that is imperative when working with traumatic memories.
While EMDR will not change the past, erase memories, cure psychopathology or cure brain damage, it has successfully treated many problems such as:
- PTSD and Complex PTSD
- Panic Attacks
- Phobias
- Emotional/Physical/Sexual Abuse
- Developmental Trauma
- Anxiety/Depression
- Addictive Behaviors
- Flashbacks and Nightmares
