We all experience stress of some kind. However, sometimes the stress of a traumatic event or environment gets stored in the brain in a way that makes it difficult to get past. If your child has experienced a trauma or difficult event and has lingering anxiety, persistent low mood or challenging behaviors that traditional interventions aren’t addressing, EMDR may be right for them. EMDR is shorthand for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and this is an evidenced based treatment for adults and children alike. EMDR is a well researched and implemented practice that is often shown to have similar results compared to talk or play therapy, in a shorter amount of time.
