EMDR Treatment--Addressing Both Mind and Body
By Sally Frances, MA, LCSW
Sometimes when something traumatic happens to us our brain becomes overwhelmed and cannot process or "digest" the experience. The memory of the bad event "gets stuck" in our psyche and cannot process out - it cannot be eliminated from our system. So we have repetitive thoughts about the event, we keep remembering parts of it...perhaps we have bad dreams about it, or even flashbacks.
Who Can Be Helped By EMDR?
By Carol Boulware, Ph.D.
Research shows that EMDR is rapid, safe and effective in helping those who suffer from anxiety, distressing memories, nightmares, insomnia, abuse or other traumatic events. EMDR does not involve the use of drugs or hypnosis. It is a simple, non-invasive patient-therapist collaboration in which emotional blocks or fear can be successfully overcome.
EMDR Therapy Offers New Hope

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) is a powerful short-term therapy that's highly effective for confronting and overcoming stress, anxiety, and trauma.
What Happens During an EMDR Session?
By Carol Boulware, Ph.D.
Just as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) assists the brain with its natural processing of emotional information, the EMDR therapist assists the client in their healing process by becoming a partner on a journey to release past trauma from the client's nervous system.
