EMDR stands for "Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing." It is an extensively researched, effective psychotherapy method that helps people recover from trauma and PTSD symptoms, and directly treats the way memory is stored in the brain. It is shown to be a helpful treatment for disorders such as anxiety, depression, OCD, chronic pain, addictions, and other distressing life experiences.

Join me in learning more about EMDR and the wide range of people who can benefit from it with the founder of the Precision EMDR Academy Susie Morgan, LMFT, BCETS (who I worked with personally) to learn more about the benefits of this work, the vital importance of our memory storage network, attachment theory and how our sense of security forms the foundation for our sense of self.
