“EMDR assists survivors in the immediate aftermath of violent trauma by breaking through the walls of denial, shock, grief, and anger. Ideal for those who have been unable to forget past traumatic life events, as it allows for rapid processing of even deeply rooted memories, giving individuals back control of their lives and their emotions.”
