EMDR
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Restructuring) was originally designed and researched around PTSD and trauma resolution. It is one of the most researched and validated types of therapy currently offered today. EMDR has also been found to be effective in the reduction of anxiety, depression and other difficult emotions. In my experience, people are often able to increase their own awareness of thoughts, behavior patterns and difficult emotions in a way that helps them access their own lives in ways that seemed impossible before. EMDR is in many ways one of the most effective therapies I have encountered in my 11 years as a licensed practitioner. Please learn more about EMDR from www.emdr.com
What is Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction or MBSR
Jon Kabat Zinn defines mindfulness as paying attention on purpose to the present moment as if your life depended on it. He goes on to say that mindfulness is what comes out of paying attention on purpose to the present moment as if your life depended on it. Which is nothing but awareness. Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction or MBSR is an instructional clinic on meditation that teaches individuals the principles of meditation along with the requirement of 45 minutes to an hour or more of personal practice per day. The clinic has shown to be highly successful in reducing stress and many other medical symptoms (psoriasis) through the skilled instruction of mindfulness. Mindful Transitions currently does not offer MBSR but does use many of the principles, ideas and structure to explain and introduce the concepts of mindfulness in order to reduce depression, anxiety or other mental or psychological conditions through access of awareness and the present moment.
