Complicated Grief
Dissociative disorders
Pain disorders
Body dysmorphic disorders
Eating Disorders
Sexual or Physical abuse

EMDR targets negative core beliefs attached to adverse emotional experiences and memories stored in the nervous system.
EMDR is made up of numerous components that include mindfulness and stress-reduction practices that proceed bi-lateral eye movements assisted by an EMDR therapist.
EMDR treatment replicates the rapid bilateral (left-to right) eye movement that happens during our Repeated Eye Movement (REM) sleep.
REM sleeps acts as a filtering system for all our emotional experiences. When we are troubled by adverse life effects our emotions get stored in the body. The same eye movement process is used in EMDR to induce a stimulating effect on the brain. The results are that trauma and stressful memories are gradually released from the clients central nervous system so that an adaptive belief can be installed.
Bruce Lipton, renowned cell biologist and author of the bestseller, The Biology of Belief, recommends EMDR as one of the most effective modalities for reprogramming the subconscious mind.
Energy psychology treatment such as EMDR Therapy is a powerful way we can rewrite those destructive programs that occupy our subconscious field.
