Laurie Savlov,
M.A., RP, Jungian Psychotherapist, offers EMDR as a body-mind therapeutic process in his Toronto
private practice.
He has his certificate in
EMDR.
Laurie learned EMDR to assist clients
suffering from traumatic experiences or disturbing life events. These result in
the impairment of the person’s innate ability to process and to integrate the
experiences within the body and mind.
The EMDR therapeutic process
can result in the alleviation of presenting symptoms, diminution of distress
from the memory image or disturbing life event, improved view of the self,
relief from bodily disturbance, and resolution of present and future
anticipated triggers for distress.
What is EMDR Therapy?
In the broadest sense, EMDR
is intended to alleviate human suffering and assist individuals and society to
fulfill their potential for development while minimizing risks of harm in its
application. For the client, the aim of EMDR treatment is to achieve the most
profound and comprehensive treatment effects in the shortest period of time,
while maintaining client stability within a balanced family and social system.
EMDR is an approach to
psychotherapy that supports the premise that most people have both an innate
tendency to move toward health and wholeness, and the inner capacity to achieve
it. It consists of a unique standardized set of procedures and clinical protocols
which are combined with the unique element of dual attention/bilateral
stimulation. This process appears to facilitate the resumption of normal
information processing and integration. Intervention by the therapist is kept
to the minimum that is necessary to keep that processing moving until
resolution is reached.
