What is EMDR? Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy treatment that was originally designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories.  EMDR facilitates the accessing and processing of traumatic memories to bring these to an adaptive resolution. After successful treatment with EMDR, distress is relieved, negative beliefs are reformulated, and physiological arousal is reduced. Therapist directed lateral eye movements are the most commonly used external stimulus but a variety of other stimuli including hand-tapping and audio stimulation are often used.  These new associations are thought to result in complete information processing, new learning, elimination of emotional distress, and development of cognitive insights.  Together, we can explore if EMDR is right for you.

For more information, visit the EMDR Network or the EMDR Institute.

Neuro-Emotional Technique (NET) Emotions such as fear, anger, grief and many others can negatively affect us long after the original event that caused them.  When our body fails to “let go” of these emotions we can find ourselves with unexplained aversions, self-sabotaging behaviors, destructive beliefs, phobias and many chronic physical problems!  We use an approach called Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) to identify, and help you let go of, “stuck” emotional patterns.  For more info visit NetMindBody.com
