Trauma & EMDR Therapy: Advanced Trauma Treatment with Deep EMDR Expertise

EMDR is grounded in the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model, which proposes that psychological distress arises when traumatic or overwhelming experiences are inadequately processed and stored in memory networks. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (eye movements, taps, or tones) within a structured eight-phase protocol to help the brain integrate these memories in a more adaptive way.

Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) is a trauma-focused, neurobiological psychotherapy that targets shock and attachment trauma by working directly with brainstem-oriented responses that occur before emotional activation. DBR helps clients process traumatic experiences by attending to the body’s earliest orienting responses—such as head, neck, and eye movements—allowing the nervous system to complete interrupted defensive sequences and resolve trauma at its source.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a brief, trauma-focused psychotherapy that uses eye movements and imagery techniques to help individuals resolve distressing memories and symptoms without prolonged exposure or detailed verbal processing.

Brainspotting is a therapeutic approach that identifies specific eye positions (“brainspots”) linked to unprocessed trauma, allowing the brain and nervous system to naturally process and release emotional and physiological distress.

R-TEP is an EMDR early-intervention protocol that helps individuals process recent traumatic events before they become entrenched, reducing the risk of PTSD and long-term distress.
