The Value of EMDR Therapy

Written By Erin M. Randol

Sunrise Therapy Services uses Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy to treat conditions of anxiety, emotional abuse, physical abuse, acute trauma events, complex traumas, childhood traumas, relationship issues, depression, family issues, grief, and loss.

The goal of EMDR treatment is to eliminate disturbance and suffering, increase the ability to self soothe, increase in ability to safely feel emotions, regain a sense of self, bond appropriately with others, and remember challenging life events with less emotional distress.

EMDR Therapy does not have the ability to change the past, erase memories, clear all undesired symptoms, or heal brain damage. This therapy was developed in 1987 by Francine Shapiro.

My expertise is related to working with adult individuals who desire a stronger sense of self, an increased ability to self-soothe, and skills to safely feel a range of emotions. I work with clients who were taught in childhood to practice strong work ethic no matter what, that setting a boundary is being rude, and that dwelling on the past won’t do any good. I use EMDR and IFS therapies with clients to help process anxiety, emotional abuse, physical abuse, acute trauma events, complex traumas, childhood traumas, relationship issues, depression, family issues, grief and loss. My therapeutic lens is trauma-informed and client centered.
