“One of the things I love most about EMDR is seeing the moment in which my clients have reached the point in which the traumatic memory of focus has been fully reprocessed. You can see the physical relief and calm wash over them. It is such an empowering process as the client is the one in full control, and their brains are conducting all the healing with my trained guidance. A reminder that we all have the power to heal ourselves if we are committed to doing so.”
