What is EMDR Therapy?
A substantial body of research shows that adverse life experiences contribute to both psychological and biomedical pathology over a person’s lifespan.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy is an empirically validated treatment for trauma, and Adverse Life Experiences.
Why are adverse life experiences so important?
Because we can now link these experiences to chronic stress reactions that occur in the body creating psychological and biological changes later in life.
If unaddressed with an effective therapy, people can be at risk for both mental and physical health issues later in life.
The ACES (Adverse Childhood Experiences) study is now over 20 years old but the implications are just starting to have an impact on our healthcare system.
Let's Talk EMDR
Here’s What We Know
ACEs are common…64% of adults have at least one.
The more ACEs you have, the greater the risk for chronic disease, such as Cancer and Heart Disease, Mental Illness, such as Anxiety and Depression, Relationship Difficulties and the list goes on…
Childhood adversity contributes to most of our major chronic health, mental health, economic health and social health issues.
And we are learning that it’s not just major difficulties that cause some of these issues but the subtle messaging and difficulties we face in our daily lives has a large impact on us as well.
Why EMDR?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy is a proven method to address trauma and challenging life events. Recognizing the repercussions of these events is crucial, as they can lead to long-term stress responses, resulting in psychological and physiological alterations.
Alarmingly, if these issues remain unresolved, individuals may face heightened risks for mental and physical ailments in the future. Ignoring these challenges doesn’t make them disappear; in fact, they can amplify as individuals try to suppress them or resort to unhealthy coping mechanisms, exacerbating the situation.
