EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitizationand Reprocessing) is used by trained professionals to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It is also used for the treatment of the following conditions: Anxiety Disorder, General Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, Phobias,  and Social Anxiety/Phobia.  

5 reasons EMDR might be for you if...

1.      you are looking for a treatment that is taking fewer sessions than regular talk therapy.  

2.      you have tried regular talk therapy and are still having difficulty overcoming your triggers.

3.      you want to move past your trauma, get unstuck and reach your life goals. By reducing the stress associated with your trigger you can move easier towards adaptive thoughts, behaviors, and feelings.

4.      you don’t  want to rely only on talk therapy or medications.

5.      you want to experience better sleep, have increased self-esteem, confidence, and want to decreases symptoms of anxiety and depression.

6.      you want an overall improvement in your quality of life, including healthier relationships with your loved ones.    

If you have more questions this is a book, I recommend for understanding EMDR further, written by Francine Shapiro, PHD and Margot Silk Forrest. Francine Shapiro is the originator and developer of EMDR. It is called EMDR:The Breakthrough Therapy for Overcoming Anxiety, Stress, and Trauma. It’s available on AMAZON. https://amzn.to/3pAXJkS
