TREATMENT: SOLUTION FOCUSED, BRIEF & EFFECTIVE
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR):
- Reprogram the way in which distressing memories, images and/or events are stored in the brain.
- Distressing memories and traumatic events can range from medical/ health crisis to high threat military operations.
- They cause a sense of hyper-vigilance resulting in possible insomnia, isolation and/or an inability to regulate our internal emotions. We get hijacked by the brain.
- The desensitization and memory reconsolidation phases of EMDR/ART treatment changes the previously intense physical & emotional reactions that once 'hijacked' us, to a healthier sense of emotional regulation and response.
