EMDR: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
EMDR is an evidenced-based therapy that helps people reduce the intensity of negative memories, or future worries. EMDR also helps shift negative core beliefs to more helpful core beliefs for overall healthier functioning.
"EMDR is a structured therapy that encourages the patient to focus briefly on the trauma memory while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation (typically eye movements), which is associated with a reduction in the vividness and emotion associated with the trauma memories. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an extensively researched, effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma and PTSD symptoms." - EMDRIA.org Website (2026)

In addition, Katy is trained in the Syzygy Model of IFS-Informed EMDR, which adds the Internal Family Systems approach to the traditional EMDR process.
