Trauma

If you have been the victim of childhood or adult trauma, you may be suffering the after effects, including:

• Distressing recollections or dreams of the event
• Avoidance of places and people associated with the trauma
• Inability to recall certain aspects of the trauma
• Being easily startled
• Frequent outbursts of anger

One of the techniques I use to help you heal from past abuse and violence is called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). EMDR is a well respected, well researched treatment for trauma, and I am an experienced practitioner. I can explain the approach to you and you can determine if it seems right for you.

“The speed at which change occurs during EMDR contradicts the traditional notion of time as essential to psychological healing.”
