We use a specific protocol to teach the body and brain to integrate painful memories through side to side stimulation of the brain. (Bilateral Stimulation).  We can use eye movements, cross-lateral arm tapping, or hand held “paddles” to create this bilateral stimulation. 

This therapy is most effective for resolution of traumatic events and involves a through history taking and safety-building stage to ensure the effects will be positive. In general, multiple EMDR sessions are required for resolution- this is not a one session fix.
