When distress from a problematic event remains, the disturbing images, feelings, and emotions may create feelings of being back in that moment or being “frozen in time.”
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an alternative to traditional talk therapy that can provide rapid relief from stress and anxiety caused by overexertion, traumatic experiences, or disturbing life events.
For many clients, EMDR therapy can be completed in fewer sessions than other
