EMDR
Attachment-Focused EMDR, certified through the Parnell Institute and EMDRIA. An evidence-based approach to healing trauma the body/mind is still clutching on to.
For thousands of years of human history, we have used bilateral stimulation, such as drumming, dancing, and dreaming as part of healing ceremonies. EMDR taps into your innate healing intelligence using bilateral stimulation, activating the left and right hemispheres of your brain. The processing can lead to the release of trauma in your body, mind, and heart, and the emergence of deeper understandings of yourself, a felt sense of relief in the body, and emotional regulation.
I completed my Attachment-Focused EMDR training through the Parnell Institute, and I'm certified through both the Parnell Institute and EMDRIA.
In addition to the treatment of PTSD, EMDR is a somatic intervention for the psychological effects of smaller traumas that manifest as depression, anxiety, phobias, low self-esteem, creativity blocks, and relationship difficulties.
Healing often occurs more rapidly than in traditional talk therapy. And as a result of EMDR's clearing of emotional and somatic blockages, many people also experience a sense of joy, openness, and deeper connection with themselves and others.
