EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) has become more well known over recent years in medical circles and in popular media. In fact, in a recent docuseries, The Me You Can’t See, Oprah engages Prince Harry in a fascinating and vulnerable interview about mental health, where he allows cameras into one of his therapy sessions and talks about how his treatment has helped him move past trauma stemming from his mother’s death.

Despite it’s burgeoning popularity, many have yet to hear about it, or are still unclear about what EMDR is and why it is becoming an increasingly sought after treatment for those in need of emotional healing. In this session, EMDR-certified clinician Theresa McNeeley, LMFT, ATR, will give a brief introduction of the history of EMDR, explain the structure of the approach and its use of mindfulness techniques, provide clarity to the common questions people have about it, and describe how it’s uniquely effective in treating trauma and issues related to trauma such as anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationship issues.

An experiential will also be included so that those in attendance receive tools they can use immediately following the session.

So many of us live our lives giving to others while our own cups remain empty. If we are always coming from a half full place then our true essence cannot shine through. How do we maintain loving boundaries so that everything we do can come form our “full cup selves” where we experience more ease, flow, success, creativity and happiness? This workshop will help identify the things and people who keep our tank full, who and what to say yes to, and strategies to maximize our performance and utilize our time more efficiently.
