EMDR trauma focused therapy can be offered for many emotional issues and reduces distress within a short time, but this is also a therapy which can be Intergrated with DBT, somatic therapy, polyvagal theory, schema sand play for more pervasive emotions or experiences. I have the experience to provide a neuro-affirming space and make this a priority.
