Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a mental health treatment that has been extensively researched and proven effective for the resolution of mental health symptoms from adverse life experiences. Distressing life events can overwhelm a person’s ability to cope have a lasting negative effect on mental, emotional, and physical health. EMDR therapy is an integrative psychotherapy that incorporates elements from many different treatment approaches for people of all ages suffering psychological distress. EMDR is proven effective method for PTSD, but it works for other issues as well such as pain, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, eating disorders and many other mental health problems may also be helped. Since many symptoms of mental illness are because of adverse life experiences, EMDR works well with psychiatric disorders other than PTSD. EMDR is both a stand-alone treatment approach, as well as an integrative psychotherapy, so that other interventions may be used concurrently with EMDR. Studies show that a single trauma PTSD can be cured in 6 sessions and multiple trauma will get 77% relief.

EMDR therapy facilitates change in the meaning of painful events and the cause of presenting symptoms and issues. Rather than continuing to experience old emotions and beliefs about self that impact present functioning, clients are able to live in the present, knowing they are worthwhile, good enough, did the best they could, are strong, capable, safe enough, with choices in the present.

EMDR DeTUR protocol is the only method that truly works on addiction, eating disorder and trauma triggers.
