Many
people seek out a counselor to help them with growth and change, career
and school issues, and what may be an overwhelming problem or painful
circumstance in their lives. They search for solutions
among many possibilities and choices.
A real difficulty we all have in making
changes in our behavior and understanding is that our brains are really
wired not to
change, especially in the
context of stress and trauma. This is because survival is the
most important biological principle for
all living beings. (See below
for a few books on change, the brain, and learning and therapy).
Reprocessing Therapy or EMDR (Eye
Movement, Desensitization, and Reprocessing) is a way to help with traumatic
memories that continue to
influence your thinking, behaving, and way of life. Events that
have happened in the past including feelings, sounds, and sensations,
can become memories that get "stuck" in the nerve networks
of the brain. These memories
can be a problem years later
or right away. Reprocessing the memories allows for the brain's
natural system of memory s
torage to work. I have completed
the first level of intensive training in Reprocessing Therapy and will
continue this training in
six months. If you are
having problems with past or present trauma or stress, please do seek
therapy to aid in dealing with
such issues as childhood abuse,
phobias, anxiety, and memories of traumatic events that reoccur in your
life.
