EMDR

EMDR therapy is an outcome based and structured therapy that is well researched and recognized by many bodies for example the WHO, the American Psychiatric as well as Psychology Association. EMDR focuses on desensitizing and processing trauma memories with the use of bilateral stimulation. EMDR is a proven effective psychotherapy to assist with trauma and PTSD symptoms, OCD, anxiety, depression, chronic pain and various other experiences in life. It is proven to assist with recent traumas and exposure to incidents. EMDR enables processing of the impact of trauma in the body, the emotions as well as the mind – even when the impact is not conscious in nature. The thorough therapeutic approach focuses on past events, current triggers as well as future expectations. EMDR can also be applied with therapy with children and in groups.

Testimonials

What client say about us

For me, learning to heal has been a difficult process. It has involved unlearning core beliefs which I assimilated and practices which I developed over an entire life. Healing is also a lonely process but I never felt alone, not once. Anjenita found a way to connect with me and somehow understood what I was not able to name or voice and with a kind firmness and an abundance of perseverance and patience helped me find my words and face the ugly. It is painful to lose what you think is your reality so it is much more difficult for someone to break down that reality but Anjenita has a gift and she gently walked me inward so that I could face outward again and when the walking nearly defeated me more than a few times, she was always available (no matter what) to help me. More than that, she never recoiled or looked away and that is no small thing. I read once that “Your purpose is not the thing you do. It is the thing that happens in others when you do what you do.” I am so grateful Anjenita chose to share her purpose with me because she has helped me change my life in such irreversible and fundamental ways. She helped me reframe the way I see and think about myself. She helped me remember who I am and through it all, I have come to understand that I matter, and that is also no small thing. She also told me (more than once) that “lag is ‘n superpower” and it is! For all of this, thank you will never be enough!
