Trauma and PTSD therapists in Okeechobee, Florida FL
Sharon Roth
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Trauma can deeply impact individuals, manifesting in various forms of distress and hindering their ability to lead fulfilling lives. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapeutic approach that offers hope and healing for those grappling with traumatic experiences. By engaging in bilateral stimulation, typically through eye movements, taps, or sounds, EMDR helps individuals process distressing memories and reframe negative beliefs associated with the trauma. Through this process, clients can experience a reduction in the emotional intensity of their memories and develop healthier coping mechanisms, empowering them to move forward with resilience and renewed strength. EMDR provides a safe and effective pathway towards healing, allowing individuals to reclaim agency over their lives and restore a sense of balance and well-being.
