About this service
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (emdr) is a highly effective therapeutic method for helping individuals process traumatic events. Much research supports the safety and efficacy of emdr for children and adolescents when therapy is provided by a skilled practitioner trained to work specifically with this population. Emdr in combination with art and play therapies is used to treat symptoms of traumatic exposure including guilt, anger, depression, anxiety, self-esteem and attachment issues. After an upsetting or overwhelming experience, the memory of what happened can stay stuck (unprocessed) in the mind and body. The purpose of emdr is to utilize the bodys natural mechanism for reprocessing, by guiding the child through a series of rapid eye movements similar to those which occur during dreaming. The eye movement, accompanied by the mindful presence and emotional attunement of the therapist, accelerates the healing process.
