Elevate Therapist Speaks at NAMI

Written By Christian Griffith

Elevate therapist, Sasha Perez-Gerraud spoke at the Cobb chapter of NAMI ( National Alliance on Mental Illness) meeting on the subject of EMDR therapy.

EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy technique that helps individuals process distressing memories and emotions related to trauma. During sessions, patients focus on traumatic memories while simultaneously engaging in bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or tapping, which is believed to facilitate the processing of these memories. This can lead to a reduction in the intensity of negative emotions associated with the trauma, such as anxiety, fear, and sadness, and improve overall emotional well-being.

If EMDR therapy is something you would like to try, please reach out to see how this trauma therapy can help you.
