EMDR (eye movement desensitization reprocessing)

EMDR therapy seems to have a direct effect on the way that the brain processes information from traumatic experiences and chronically invalidating situations. When people are traumatized, their brain cannot process information as it normally does. One moment can become ‘frozen in time’ and their nervous system can remain stuck in an overly activated state of ‘fight, flight or freeze.’  Through the use of eye movement and bilateral stimulation (left and right stimulation of the brain), the brain is able to reprocess negative emotions and beliefs. This therapy is used to treat panic attacks, complicated grief, dissociative disorders, disturbing memories, phobias, performance anxiety, and sexual and/or physical abuse. It has helped millions of people of all ages relieve many types of psychological distress.

 

Energy Medicine

Energy medicine focuses on the biofield of energy that surrounds and permeates the body. This energy field is deeply interconnected to the body, mind and emotions. Changing impaired or blocked energy patterns by bringing balance to the system may be the most efficient and least invasive way to improve the vitality of the body, mind and spirit. Adding energy healing to clinical treatment can result in more rapid healing of negative beliefs and difficult emotions.

I was having panic attacks all the time and was about to lose my job. Susan agreed to see me 3 times a week until I could function again. She was determined to help me keep my job which was so encouraging. After 3 weeks, I felt so much better and felt confident going back to work. I am so grateful. Susan is a very special person. – M.

I came to Susan because of the trauma I had from a dysfunctional mother. I never believed that I could heal and ‘forgive and forget.’ She assured me I could and she was right. It feels like a miracle. – M. J.
