 WHEN TALK THERAPY IS NOT ENOUGH

When we experience trauma, our memory often becomes stuck and we are left reexperiencing the event and responding as if the trauma is still happening. Many traditional cognitive and talk therapies can often be helpful for gaining a cognitive understanding of the event, but often get stuck because the deep negative feelings and self beliefs connected with the event often go unchanged.

EMDR and Art Therapy are therapies used to access both sides of the brain to assist in processing distressing memories and the negative beliefs attached to them. As a result, the emotional pain surrounding distressing memories are often decreased and negative beliefs about self can be replaced with more positive beliefs.

EMDR Therapy

WHAT IS EMDR?

Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) is an extensively researched therapy shown to be an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, and processing through past traumas or distressing memories.
