EMDR Can Help
What is EMDR?
If you have a negative view of yourself or the world, EMDR can help you form a more positive, helpful and healthy viewpoint.
EMDR is not just for trauma; it is also used for performance enhancement.
EMDR addresses the psychological and physical symptoms stemming from adverse life experiences.

TOUCHPOINTS HELP ME GROUND
We can all use more practical tools to dispel stress, improve focus, and obtain more restful sleep.
In EMDR therapy, we use right and left bilateral movement, referred to as Bilateral Stimulation (BLS), to create personalized distress management tools for you. Touchpoints are a great way for you to engage in BLS at home.

More Restorative Sleep
Sleep issues are a common symptom of trauma. Attach Touchpoints to your wrists, ankles (my personal preference), hips, or anywhere else and fall asleep a little easier.
Improved Focus and Concentration
On challenging workdays when I tend to dissociate (who doesn't, it's normal!), I might clip on my Touchpoints to my shirt collar to help encourage more focused attention to my tasks.
TOUCHPOINTS IN ACTION
Maybe the journey isn't so much about becoming anything. Maybe it's about un-becoming everything that really isn't you. So you can be who you were meant to be in the first place.
