Healing at the Source: IFS-Informed EMDR Therapy
IFS-informed EMDR therapy combines two powerful approaches to create a comprehensive healing experience for those dealing with trauma, anxiety, and emotional distress.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an empirically validated therapy proven effective through extensive research. It’s trusted and used by organizations like the Veterans Administration (VA) specifically because of its demonstrated results. EMDR helps the brain process distressing memories and experiences that may be “stuck” in your nervous system. Through bilateral stimulation (BLS), EMDR helps your brain process these experiences in ways that talk therapy alone may not access.
In my practice, I offer several BLS options:
- “Buzzies” (handheld tappers) – the most popular choice among my clients
- Light bar for visual bilateral stimulation
- Combined approaches for those who prefer it
- Online EMDR using visual BLS
