What is EMDR?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
Primarily used to treat trauma, EMDR involves processing distressing memories by stimulating both sides of the brain through bilateral eye movements. It helps individuals reprocess traumatic memories and reduce the emotional charge associated with them.
THE GPS APPROACH
There are several different approaches to psychotherapy that can be adapted to fit the individual needs of a client, often blending different techniques for a more personalized therapeutic experience.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors that are causing emotional distress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
A form of CBT that helps individuals regulate emotions, improve interpersonal relationships, and tolerate distress, often used with borderline personality disorder.
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
Combines mindfulness practices with elements of CBT to prevent the recurrence of depression by increasing awareness of thoughts and feelings.
Narrative Therapy
Encourages individuals to view their problems as separate from themselves and to reframe their life stories to create new meanings and identities. Exposure Therapy
A behavioral therapy technique used to treat anxiety and phobias by gradually exposing individuals to feared situations or objects to reduce their fear response.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)Focuses on accepting negative thoughts and emotions while committing to actions aligned with personal values.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
A future-focused approach that emphasizes finding solutions to current problems rather than delving deeply into the past.
Humanistic Therapy

Gestalt Therapy
