Undigested challenges and traumas can overwhelm our systems until we process and integrate them. EMDR is a well researched therapeutic technique that works with triggers, trauma, nightmares, chronic pain, addiction and areas of stuckness through the use of eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation. This method can be a helpful addition to reducing symptoms and resolving old traumas so that we can live a more easeful life. My EMDR orientation incorporates working with parts, relational and somatic processes. My focus is working with complex and developmental PTSD, but EMDR can be helpful for shock trauma as well.

I also utilize EMDR derivative techniques, Four Blinks and Flash Technique. These treatments are a bit more gentle on the nervous system and can support very severe triggers coming down in an even softer way than traditional EMDR. They are also quite effective, and can be used in conjunction with EMDR or on their own.
