Labyrinth Psychological Services Offers EMDR Therapy to Shrewsbury Patients

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapy developed in 1987 to help patients overcome traumatic experiences. Since its development, it has become the preferred psychotherapy tool to unlock and process traumatic memories. EMDR therapy involves re-processing painful memories, images, and feelings and opinions caused by these memories in order to gently re-awaken the individual’s reaction to such experiences. As these memories and attending images are recalled, the brain is taught to reprocess them more calmly, without the need to activate the sympathetic nervous system. EMDR therapy has been proven effective (both in case studies and in randomized clinical trials) for sufferers of eating disorders, those coping with grief and loss, as well as victims of violence or sexual assault. EMDR has also been effective in treating substance use disorders and personality disorders. For Shrewsbury residents suffering from any form or any degree of trauma, Labyrinth Psychological Services can help. Discover why the licensed doctors and therapists at Labyrinth are Shrewsbury patients’ first choice for the most effective EMDR therapy available in the Greater Boston Area.

The Most Effective EMDR Therapy Nationwide Now Available in Shrewsbury

Despite what popular opinion maintains, trauma affects all individuals to some degree. Stressful experiences change our opinions of ourselves and of the world around us. EMDR therapy uses physical response to retrain the brain’s hippocampus and prefrontal cortex to help us manage stress responses that are reawakened by memories of disturbing events. EMDR does not suppress memories through hypnosis, but rather reawakens these images in order to reprocess the memory and resolve the “fight or flight” response. The licensed doctors and therapists at Labyrinth Psychological Services offer the most effective form of EMDR therapies available in Shrewsbury, in the Greater Boston Area, and indeed nationwide. Trauma is not a sign of weakness; it is the product of a natural, biological response. If you leave in or around Shrewsbury, don’t let unprocessed trauma cause unnecessary stress in your life. Call Labyrinth Psychological Services today and discover how EMDR therapy can change your life.
