“What I do know is that we become traumatized when our ability to respond to a perceived threat is in some way overwhelmed. This inability to adequately respond can impact us in obvious ways, as well as ways that are subtle.”
- Peter Levine
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused therapy that helps people process and heal from distressing life experiences. EMDR works by using bilateral stimulation—such as guided eye movements, tapping, or sounds—while the client recalls traumatic memories. This helps the brain reprocess stuck or overwhelming experiences, reducing their emotional intensity and allowing for new, more adaptive understanding. EMDR is evidence-based and particularly effective for PTSD, but it can also support healing from anxiety, grief, and childhood trauma.
