EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an interactive form of therapy that involves working with memories, body sensations, core self-beliefs, and emotions to help people recover from trauma or other distressing life experiences.

EMDR allows the brain to restore and recover, healing naturally through the use of Dual Attention Stimulation with alternating eye movements, sounds or taps. This allows you to change how the memory is stored so you can process it, adapt, and move forward with your life. It is a mind-body approach to therapy which typically produces long-lasting results in 6 – 12 sessions.

Recovering from mental illness includes not only getting better, but achieving a full and satisfying life. Many people affirm that their journey to recovery has not been a straight, steady road. Rather there are ups and downs, new discoveries and setbacks.

EMDR is an effective therapy in children and adolescents as well as in adults. 
When kids receive EMDR, one of the things they do is move their eyes from one side to another while they think about the yucky things that happened to them . 

EMDR can be a powerful tool in helping kids and teens process traumatic and distressing events in their life quickly and effectively.

EMDR is one of the most researched approaches to treating trauma that exists.

EMDR also has the highest recommendation for Children and Adolescents with PTSD from the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies (ISTSS, 2018).
