EMDR

Many people's lives are negatively impacted by events which happened in the past. We all have a natural ability to heal from the pain and difficulty which are an inevitable part of living. But sometimes our own natural abilities and strengths get overwhelmed by the extent of the trauma.

A highly effective technique has been developed which utilizes the brain's natural healing power. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprogramming (usually known as EMDR) can greatly accelerate the healing process regardless of the trauma that is causing problems. Jill uses EMDR to help people with all kinds of trauma issues and especially to assist in healing sexual problems.

EMDR is a simple psychotherapeutic technique for revisiting difficulties of the past and bringing the brain's natural healing power to bear on the problem. Recently the American Psychiatric Association described it as having the 'highest level of effectiveness' for treating trauma.
