In the 1980s, Francine Shapiro, Ph.D, found a connection between eye movement and disturbing memories that would not subside. Sometimes we are in crisis and just need help regaining our footing and finding a next step. I am equipped to help you reground yourself after a crisis and find the long term care you need. I am trained in an EMDR based protocol called 'A-tip' that is designed to reduce distress and prevent PTSD related symptoms after a crisis.

What is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)?
Unlike traditional psychotherapy, EMDR is not a "talk therapy" based modality. Client and therapist will work together to create a target plan of memories and their corresponding negative beliefs and symptoms. Initial sessions will also include "resourcing" work where client and therapist will work to establish safety and effective grounding techniques. In "processing" sessions, client and therapist will work through the predetermined target plan using bilateral stimulation. Hand tappers and eye movements are most commonly used form of bilateral stimulation.

Renee helps teens and adults heal their trauma so they can get back to living life and feeling safe in the world. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a fast, effective treatment that works with memories of past or recent events. After taking part in this therapy, our emotions settle down, our thoughts get more reasonable, and we become more at peace with ourselves, others, and the world around us. How many sessions will be required will be based on the type of problem, personal circumstances and the degree of the trauma. EMDR may be used within a standard “talking” therapy, as an adjunctive therapy with a separate therapist, or as a treatment all by itself.

Bilateral Stimulation repeatedly activates both hemispheres of the brain. These eye movements mimic the period of sleep referred to as rapid eye movement or REM sleep, as this portion of sleep is frequently considered to be the time when the mind processes the recent events in the person’s life. EMDR therapy uses a technique called bilateral stimulation to repeatedly activate opposite sides of the brain. This bilateral stimulation is most often performed via eye movements but can also be administered by touch and/or sound. These eye movements mimic the period of sleep referred to as rapid eye movement or REM sleep; this stage of sleep is when the mind is attempting to processes recent events. EMDR seems to help the brain reprocess the trapped memories in such a way that normal information processing is resumed.
Some of the studies show that 84%-90% of single-trauma victims no longer have post-traumatic stress disorder after only three 90-minute sessions. Another study, funded by the HMO Kaiser Permanente, found that 100% of the single-trauma victims and 77% of multiple trauma victims no longer were diagnosed with PTSD after only six 50-minute sessions. In another study, 77% of combat veterans were free of PTSD in 12 sessions. Millions of people have been treated successfully over the past 25 years. Many associations and studies recognize EMDR as a very effective approach to treatment.
With EMDR, these memories which have been stored as trauma experiences will be reprocessed so that the memory will remain, but the person will be able to recall the event at will without reliving it. It is often helpful to have one or two sessions with the individual to fully understand the nature of their problem to determine if EMDR therapy will be an appropriate treatment. During these sessions, the therapist will answer any questions the prospective patient may have about EMDR.
