Bi-Lateral Stimulation Processing, EMDR

Our mind-body system responds to a stressful or traumatic event by storing beliefs, feelings, images and body sensations. If the mind-body system has not been able to process or make sense of an event, symptoms of trauma may still be plaguing us, such as flashbacks, nightmares and body sensations. Behaviour may also be influenced by avoiding certain situations or people. Anxiety and fear may be prevalent.

A traumatic or fractured event stored in the mind-body system requires safe and ease-full processing in order for it to be integrated. That is to make sense of the circumstance and the situation. Bi-Lateral Stimulation Processing achieves this with speed and ease. It has risen out of the body of research on mind-body approaches to healing, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Energy Psychology. The stressful material is processed using eye movements and bi-lateral sound or kinaesthetic processing. The painful memories move through your system, bringing a new sense of understanding and well-being. The trauma is integrated with a new perspective, bringing relief from unwanted symptoms.

Bi-Lateral Stimulation Processing is also helpful for depression, relationship difficulties, stress, anger, addictions, or low self-esteem. This tool is also great for developing a new or enhancing an existing positive resource, capacity or skill such as playing a musical instrument or improving sports performance.
