EMDR and trauma
At Journey Well Counselling Services, we recognize the far-reaching impact of traumatic experiences. Through trauma therapy, we work to support you in processing the experiences as well as managing the impacts on you, your life, and your relationships. Narrative Therapy practices are used to begin this work and when appropriate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used. EMDR is a model of therapy that is well researched and very effective at helping people resolve past issues and create positive, lasting change in their lives. It uses bilateral stimulation to support the brain in using its skills to resolve past concerns. See below for more information about EMDR.
