About EMDR Therapy
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a researched and proven therapeutic technique that is used to treat symptoms of traumatic, painful, and difficult experiences. It can be done with individuals during a regular counseling session, or during a two-day EMDR intensive experience. For groups, it can be used after a shared crisis or disaster, ongoing stressful situations, or for people who have experienced similar related trauma.
