If you have chronic stress, a past trauma or just feel stuck in unhelpful patterns, EMDR can help! EMDR is a powerful therapy tool. EMDR activates both sides of the brain through simple eye movements or other movements during therapy. Using those movements while processing the difficult emotions or memories actually reorganizes them in our brain and makes them less emotionally charged, less triggering and have less control over our present feelings and behaviors. EMDR can help you leave the past in the past.
