Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is one of the best forms of therapy for recovery from addiction and trauma.
Research has proven that early childhood trauma is the cause of many adulthood problems and the underlying cause of many addictions and mental disorders. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is the most comprehensive treatment for healing the feeling of trauma that is linked to these memories. This works by channeling the neuropathways that were created at the time of trauma, and reprogramming the feelings associated to the incident. This type of treatment called “bilateral stimulation” is a unique form of treatment that works for a wide variety of patients and recovery needs by changing the fundamental views or memories that corrupt behaviors.
