​
Psychological trauma creates emotional wounds the same way physical trauma does. Without proper care and attention, residual effects can bleed into our relationships and limit our potential.
EMDR is shown to be an effective treatment for trauma and PTSD.
​
When our bodies hurt, our souls hurt, too. New research consistently adds to the growing body of evidence showing the power of the mind-body connection.
​
On the flip side, learning to cope and heal emotionally may help patients feel better physically, too.
