EMDR Therapy: Release Past Pain, Create a Positive Future

     in Boulder, Colorado, with Edie Stone, MA, LPC

I have been working with EMDR as a treatment for physical and emotional trauma, painful memories, grief, unhealthy patterns, phobias, fears, and performance anxiety since 2005. I am constantly amazed and grateful for the healing that this technique has brought to my clients. In session after session, I have seen pain, anger, fear, anxiety, and inner conflicts expressed, released, and transformed into relaxation, peace of mind, and self-acceptance.

I invite you to explore this path of healing and personal growth. Call me at 303-415-3755 or email me to schedule a free initial consultation.

What is EMDR?

EMDR is an efficient, effective treatment if you want to move beyond painful memories, fears, trauma unhealthy patterns, or performance anxiety.

EMDR is also an efficient, effective tool if you want to transform your future, establish healthy habits, or enhance your performance in sports, job interviews, public speaking, test-taking, or any stressful activity. (I will use italics to indicate this forward-looking, performance-enhancing use of EMDR.)

As an example, EMDR can be used to prepare for successful surgery or other medical procedures. By releasing fears or trauma from past medical experiences, you will experience less stress and more control in the present. By reducing current fears and improving relaxation, you will experience less tension and therefore less pain. By creating a positive template for healing, you are more likely to experience an improved outcome.
