EMDR

“Quote?”

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a specific therapy tool that we use frequently at the VOTH to help face the trauma, anxiety, depressiveness, and lingering resentments every human eventually faces in life. Trauma, or experiences that overwhelm the brain’s ability to make sense of a situation, is a normal part of life. Every child longs for an emotionally secure home where they can openly discuss difficult experiences like breakups, bullying, or puberty. Likewise, every grownup hopes to create a home where he or she can be authentic, rest from anxieties of the world, and be accepted as human.

When the main ingredients of safety, security, gentleness, and honesty are not available, the heart, brain, and body can become stuck in anxiety, depression, addictions, or general uneasiness with life. 

We have found EMDR to be a powerful tool for fostering self-compassion and helping people move beyond the isolation from painful past memories.

  • Less of a talk therapy feel and more of a communicating about what you are noticing in 30 second increments. 

  • To interact with your self in a new way that will be uncomfortable at first.
