E.M.D.R.
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR)is an evidence-based treatment modality used to effectively treat Trauma, PTSD, Phobia’s and other ailments that are otherwise treatment resistant. EMDR only requires brief thoughts about the trauma while it works to reduce the severity of the emotion attached to the traumatic memory.
SAND THERAPY
Healing tools can come in many forms, and sand happens to be a specific aspect of play therapy that can be used as a stand alone therapy with teens and adults. Our psyche ultimately wants us to heal, and sand being used in a therapeutic environment while being with the support of a therapist can allow the internal workings of the mind to flow and reorganize itself in new ways that can release emotions in a different way than trying to talk it out.
