Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy treatment that was originally designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories (Shapiro, 1989a, 1989b). EMDR is a transformative process that brings old negative and distressing memories to neutral ground and provides relief from symptoms of trauma such as: disrupted sleep, intrusive memories, associated anxiety, low mood, etc.. After successful treatment with EMDR, affective distress and symptoms are relieved, and negative beliefs are reformulated. After countless published studies, EMDR is in the “A” category for treatment of trauma. It is considered a mainstream method of treatment, critical in working with clients experiencing post trauma.
Post trauma can present itself in countless ways. Our clinicians assess and identify when trauma is at the roots of the client’s goals for counselling.
