What is EMDR Trauma Therapy?
E.M.D.R. (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing, traumatic, life experiences. EMDR Trauma Therapy shows that the mind can in fact heal from psychological trauma much as the body can heal from physical trauma, via a subconscious bilateral stimulation approach. The ultimate goal with EMDR based therapy is to break the malaligned trauma bonds that are stored in the mind, formed through past experiences, big or small. There has been extensive research and multiple controlled studies on the positive effects of EMDR & EMDR Intensives, so much so, that it is now recognized as an effective form of treatment for trauma and other disturbing life experiences by organizations such as The American Psychiatric Association, The World Health Organization and The Department of Defense. We are honored to offer Licensed & Trained EMDR Trauma Therapy Services at Hope Springs Counseling in both our Monroe and Athens locations, and to be named the GA Affiliate for the Complex Trauma Training Consortium.
Our 2-day EMDR Intensives allow our clients to fully dive in and combat trauma, big or small, in a safe, targeted and efficient manner. These Intensives provide a safe haven away from external triggers and scheduling constraints while providing an extremely customized and personalized approach to trauma therapy treatment.
