Learn about the benefits of adjunctive EMDR for adults who are receiving treatment for PTSD or other effects of trauma.

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing is a therapeutic technique that has proved to be extremely effective at helping individuals heal from posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or other effects of trauma. During EMDR sessions, clients recall past or ongoing sources of distress while simultaneously focusing on an external stimulus. EMDR sessions also involve the use of positive imagery and the development of stress reduction practices.

The repetition of these processes can quickly ease or eliminate the client’s emotional pain while also helping them make beneficial cognitive and behavioral changes.

Massage is an ancient technique that works with the muscle tissues of the body, lymph system, fascia, and circulatory system to increase blood flow and enhance overall well-being. It is widely accepted as an integrative part of the healing and recovery process. 

Massage is a technique that can be used by directly working on the skin and muscles using oils and lotions, or by working on top of one’s garments, if preferred. This hands-on practice works the structure of the body by using friction, deep compression, or gentle, relaxing pressure.  

Numerous research studies have indicated the physical, mental, and emotional benefits of massage. The many benefits of massage include stress reduction, decreased anxiety and depression, pain management, the release of toxins from the body, enhanced sleep, and improved concentration.  

Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a Japanese word meaning “universal life force energy.” It is a specific form of energy healing that comes to us from Japan and is widely used in medical and therapeutic facilities throughout the world as a complementary modality in treatment and recovery.

There is no belief system attached to Reiki, and anyone can receive and benefit from a Reiki treatment.  

Enhance the mind-body connection through adjunctive somatic experiencing.

Somatic experiencing is a therapeutic modality that focuses on the mind-body connection. Studies on the effectiveness of somatic experiencing suggest that this method may be beneficial for individuals whose lives have been impacted by posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or other effects of untreated trauma. During somatic experiencing sessions, clients are guided through a process that addresses their physiological responses to trauma.

The general goal of somatic experiencing is to identify how the client’s body may be reacting to sensations that are linked to past trauma so that they can better regulate how their nervous system alternates between periods of rest and moments of alertness or vigilance.
