EMDR-Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is the subject of todays episode. This therapy has been used to treat pts that have experienced trauma or any life circumstance that holds them captive, since its development in 1990. My guest today is going to walk us through the basics of EMDR and how he uses it in his practice to treat patients. Subjects we discuss today are war trauma, sexual assault, grief, death by suicide and the guilt/accusations of ourselves that goes in tandem with these life events. The brain is fascinating, it can be our enemy or are friend. Listen in as we discuss how the right and left brain are different in the way it sees and processes the events of our lives. We learn how we get stuck and how to get unstuck. My guest is Paul Crecelius he accepts new patients on a case by case basis. His waiting list is long, however he does have cancellations.
