EMDR Intensives: A faster approach to healing

I believe that the quickest and most effective method to reduce/eliminate your symptoms is through EMDR Intensive Therapy. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is an integrative psychotherapy approach that has been extensively researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma. EMDR helps us process negative feelings and change the way we think about ourselves and our memories. Because of the powerful healing effect of EMDR therapy, Intensives can produce faster than results weekly sessions using standard talk-therapy techniques. EMDR Intensives can help clients to process more information and heal quicker.
