Clients dealing with trauma aren’t always receptive to the therapeutic process.
…and using treatment techniques that repeatedly confront clients with the horrific details of the traumas that haunt them can cause them to be avoidant, reactionary, or completely withdrawn.
It's painful for clients and clinicians alike, and it doesn't feel like healing.
That's where EMDR comes in. One of the best and most effective therapies available today, it's exactly what you need to help your clients gently explore their pain and move toward healing.
